LEEDS UNITED are reassessing their options after having a third bid for Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff rebuffed by their Premier League rivals.
The bid was said to be worth £10million plus a further £2million in future add-ons for the 27-year-old.
Despite Longstaff entering the final 12 months of his Magpies deal recently - and being open to the prospect of a move, having had sporadic game time so far this year - his club have not been swayed by Leeds' latest offer.

Earlier this week, Leeds signed Swedish international Gabriel Gudmundsson on a four-year deal following his £10m move from Lille, while experienced defender Sam Byram agreed fresh terms.
Gudmundsson, 24, is United's fourth arrival of the close season following the captures of Jaka Bijol, Lukas Nmecha and Sebastiaan Bournow.
Leeds' Premier League games against Arsenal and Newcastle in August have been rescheduled following the latest round of broadcast selections.
United's trip to the Emirates Stadium has been moved to a 5.30pm kick-off, on Saturday, August 23.
A week later, Leeds' home fixture against the Magpies has also been moved to the later time of a 5.30pm kick-off on Saturday, August 30.
