Newcastle United attacker reportedly set to join Championship side in January

According to reports, Newcastle United youngster Sean Longstaff could be set to join a Championship club in January after his loan stint with Blackpool expires.

Longstaff has proven to be impressive during the early parts of this season as he has manage to notch four goals from five games thus far.

Clubs such as Barnsley, Bolton Wanderers, Bristol City as well as Bournemouth have all been linked with a loan move for the player though a move to the Cherries will be unlikely unless they make a permanent offer.

Longstaff is highly rated at Newcastle however the club would prefer him to gain more experience and come back next summer to challenge for a place in the first team.

The player will need to use the time between now and next May to prove that he is capable in terms of delivering and should he succeed he will be awarded with a place in the Magpies first team.
