Newcastle United fans have been left frustrated after a report on Sky Sports suggested that Matty Longstaff could be on his way out.
Longstaff’s success at Newcastle this season has been one of the feel-good stories around St. James’ Park.
The academy graduate has impressed in Steve Bruce’s first-team, and there were high hopes for his future on Tyneside.
However, Newcastle have stalled and stalled over offering their prospect a new contract and now look set to pay the price.
Longstaff could join Udinese, who are prepared to pay him double what Newcastle currently are.
And Newcastle supporters are fuming that they could lose one of their best prospect so cheaply.
If Newcastle do lose Longstaff it could cost them the chance at raising big money for him in the future, and it could also hurt their first-team squad.
Longstaff has provided a good option in central midfield, and they would be weakened by his departure to Italy.
