Sign a short-term extension at Newcastle The younger Longstaff’s contract situation, like those of team-mates Andy Carroll, Javier Manquillo and Rob Elliot, is complicated by the rescheduling of the remainder of Newcastle’s 2019-20 campaign. Since Longstaff is under 21 and outside of Newcastle’s 25-man Premier League squad, it would require a relaxation of rules by the top flight — which is still being debated — for the likes of Jack Colback and Henri Saivet to be made eligible in his place. Club sources insist that is significantly more than they would usually pay a player of Longstaff’s relative inexperience and will not come close to matching what Udinese are reportedly proposing. Longstaff’s camp appear relaxed on the situation, comfortable that he still has almost four weeks left on his contract and safe in the knowledge talks could even resume once his deal elapses.
