‘There’s not much we can do’ – Steve Bruce provides an update on Newcastle ace’s future
Newcastle midfielder Matty Longstaff has been linked with a move away from the club this summer. The 20-year-old will be a free agent soon and the Magpies are keen to hold on to his services.

Report: Tottenham in talks to sign 21-yr-old attacker, deal could be done for £16m
Tottenham are keen on re-signing Marcus Edwards this summer. The 21-year-old joined Vitoria de Guimaraes in 2019 after loan spells with Norwich and Excelsior. He failed to establish himself as a first-teamer at Tottenham and left the club without making his senior debut. However, his move to Portugal has worked out very well so far. Edwards has picked up 7 goals and 8 assists this season. Tottenham are now keen on bringing him back. Mourinho could use some depth in the wide areas and Edwards has the potential to be a key player for him. The likes of Lamela have been inconsistent and injury-prone for a while now and Spurs must look to upgrade on their fringe players this summer. It will be interesting to see if they can agree on a deal with Vitoria for the winger. As per Todoficha...
