Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Staveley wanted to share some of the post-game magic moments with two players the club would like to stay next season after the stunning victory over Arsenal.
As the players made their way around the pitch for a final night lap of appreciation the Ripon financier ensured that both Sean Longstaff and Matt Targett knew what it felt like to feel big parts of a special night. Staveley hugged both players on a night in which left-back Targett was serenaded by the Gallowgate End.
Head coach Eddie Howe said last week he was hopeful that Longstaff would put pen to paper on a new contract while the club will activate a buyout clause on Targett with Aston Villa IF personal terms can be agreed. Getting Targett signed up would be a quick and early deal ahead of an intriguing summer.
