Newcastle United have opened talks with Sean Longstaff over a bumper new contract, after a summer of speculation saw him linked with a move to Manchester United.
The 21-year-old burst onto the scene at St James' Park last season, becoming a first-team regular in central midfield after a number of spirited, all action performances.
As a result, he was linked with a move to Manchester United over the summer, though talk died down after the Magpies slapped a reported £50m price tag on his head - United were only willing to pay up to £20m.
Now, as reported by The Times, talks over a new deal are underway for Longstaff - as well as for his brother Matty - as Newcastle look to tie down one of their most promising assets to a long-term deal.
