According to reports on Caughtoffside, Leicester City is eyeing a potential move for Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff as they prepare for the departure of Wilfred Ndidi.
Longstaff’s contract with Newcastle is set to expire in 2025, making him a possible bargain in the upcoming transfer window if the Magpies are open to selling him. The 26-year-old has been a key player for Eddie Howe’s team this season, playing in 24 Premier League matches and contributing to six goals.
As Leicester City readies for their return to the Premier League, Longstaff could be a suitable replacement for Ndidi due to his experience and impressive performances at St. James’ Park.
Although Ndidi’s future with the Foxes is uncertain, there is already significant interest in his services from clubs both in and outside of England. West Ham, Crystal Palace, Tottenham, Wolves, and Aston Villa are all reportedly keeping tabs on him, with West Ham considering him as a possible replacement for Kalvin Phillips. Additionally, European giants Barcelona and Juventus are said to be monitoring his situation, with more clubs expected to join the race for his signature in the near future.
