Sean Longstaff thinks he has found the “perfect” home at Leeds United after completing an emotional transfer from Newcastle United.

The midfielder rose through the ranks at St James’ Park, joining the club in 2006 and going on to make over 200 first-team appearances.

Reports suggest Leeds have agreed a fee in excess of £12million to take Longstaff to Elland Road, with the 27-year-old penning a four-year contract.

Speaking to LUTV after putting pen-to-paper, Longstaff said: “I think from the first time I spoke to Leeds, I got a feeling that they really wanted me.

“It just fills you full of confidence and it just makes you want to repay those people. It is a massive, massive football club – similar to Newcastle in a lot of ways.
