Everton are reportedly eyeing a surprising summer move for Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff. The 27-year-old, who has been with Newcastle since the age of nine, has struggled for game time this season, making just eight starts and 13 substitute appearances in 28 Premier League matches.

Everton boss David Moyes, a known admirer of Longstaff, previously considered signing him during his time at West Ham. With Longstaff’s contract running until June 2026, Newcastle may consider selling him for “pure profit” under PSR rules, which benefit clubs from selling academy players.

Newcastle’s midfield competition includes Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton, Sandro Tonali, Joe Willock, and Lewis Miley, making game time limited for Longstaff. A move to Everton would mark the first time the North Shields-born star has played for another club in his career. For now, Longstaff is focused on helping Newcastle secure their first club trophy in 70 years during the upcoming Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
