Leeds United are pondering their next steps after seeing an improved bid for Sean Longstaff rejected by Newcastle United. The newly-promoted side see the Magpies midfielder as an ideal option as Daniel Farke plots how to build a squad capable of avoiding relegation at the first time of asking.

It was reported yesterday by the Times that Leeds have had a £12m bid for Newcastle United's Sean Longstaff knocked back - and although some fans in the Leeds Live comments section believe he won't set the world on fire, he'll still be an astute buy for the club.

Newcastle United have now turned down a third offer from Leeds United for Sean Longstaff. Late on Wednesday afternoon The Times say that their information is that the Elland Road club has been knocked back again.
