Nottingham Forest transfer target Sean Longstaff has signed a new deal with Newcastle United to effectively end any chance of the Reds signing the midfielder.
Longstaff was linked with a £2 million move to Forest back in January, with Everton also interested back in the winter too. The 24-year-old has followed in the footsteps of several of his Magpies team-mates in signing a new deal; he will now remain at St James' Park until 2025.
Midfield is a position Forest are already well-stocked in with them currently having Ryan Yates, James Garner, Jack Colback, Brian Ojeda and Cafu all fighting for a place in Steve Cooper's side. Speaking about his new deal to the United club website, Longstaff said: "I'm over the moon. To sign for three more years at your hometown club - especially with the way the club's going and what the owners are putting in place - is really special for me and my family, and a day I'll never forget.
