Newcastle’s takeover could mean for an offload of some members of the squad, which could leave the door open for easy Everton deal for Benitez’ former player.
Frank McAvennie feels a transfer for Sean Longstaff would be ‘easy’ as Newcastle will look to bring in some new talent in the coming transfer windows.
A deal for Longstaff has already been discussed between the Magpies and Everton, according to The Athletic.
Everton may be resigned to making smaller transfers again in January, due to FFP regulations. McAvennie feels that Longstaff would be an easy signing. That’s due to his limited role in the Newcastle squad which will likely shrink even further when the raft of expected new signings arrive.
“I think there is a deal to be done there. It might make sense for the player,” he said via Football Insider.
