Journalist Claims Exciting Winger Has Signed 4-Year Deal With Newcastle​ Following Medical

Former West Ham winger Rosaire Longelo will sign a four-year contract with Newcastle United this summer after successfully completing a medical with the club, according to reports.

The 18-year-old, who is the brother of Hammers youngster Emmanuel Longelo, became a free agent this summer after being released from his contract with the east London side's Under-18 squad.

Longelo, who also spent time in Norwich and Middlesbrough's academy, is predominantly played on the left-hand side of the pitch, either as a defender or midfielder. The teenager has also been used through the middle and on the right.
