Sean Longstaff impressed for boyhood club Newcastle United yet again today.
Jermaine Jenas has written on Twitter that he is ever so impressed with Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff.
The 21-year-old Newcastle academy graduate has come from nowhere to establish himself as a key player in Rafael Benitez’s first XI since the turn of the year.
Longstaff, who was playing reserve football for the Magpies as recently as November, starred again on Saturday as Benitez’s side beat Huddersfield at St James’s Park.
All eyes were on Miguel Almiron, who made his full debut following a £20 million January move [The Sun].
But former United midfielder Jenas couldn’t help but rave about Longstaff.
Being an academy product, the sight of one of their own impressing in the senior side must be so refreshing for Newcastle fans.
He certainly looks to have a very promising Premier League career ahead of him, but will United be in the top tier next season?
This afternoon’s victory took them four points clear of the drop zone, but there is still plenty of work needed to be done.
