Sean Longstaff thinks he has found the perfect home at Leeds United after completing an emotional transfer from Newcastle United.

Leeds United are ready to hijack a move for this wonderful £12m star who would be more exciting than Sean Longstaff's addition.

Leeds United have added Sean Longstaff to their ranks ahead of the Premier League's return next month. The 27-year-old became the Whites' fifth signing of the summer on Friday night as he sealed a move to Elland Road in a deal worth an initial £12 million.

After leaving boyhood club Newcastle United, Sean Longstaff spoke about what made him want to make the move to Leeds United.

Longstaff has signed a deal to 2029 at Elland Road. He told the Leeds website: “I remember obviously playing here as a little kid, nine, 10 years old. It is funny where life takes you. So to be back here now with the plans for the club and stuff, I think it is just really exciting to get going.

Speaking to The Mirror during Longstaff’s first full season at St James' Park back in 2019, Shearer claimed Longstaff had similiar traits to ex-Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Michael Carrick. He waxed lyrical about Longstaff's passing ability and the energy he brought to the team.
