Newcastle star Sean Longstaff may not be the last midfielder Leeds United sign this summer transfer window.
The Whites have been working on adding the Englishman to their ranks for a few weeks now, and they have finally found a breakthrough.
Longstaff’s move to Elland Road looks set to be completed soon, with the West Yorkshire outfit reaching an agreement in principle with the Magpies.
Hoffenheim’s Anton Stach is another player Daniel Farke have been looking at to bolster their engine room, and the Peacocks’ stance on more midfield arrivals after the Newcastle star has been revealed.

The news outlet reports (16 July) that the West Yorkshire outfit could look to reinforce their engine room further after getting the 27-year-old at Elland Road.
It’s been claimed that Stach still remains on Farke’s radar, but it remains to be seen whether they will be able to sign him amid interest from other teams.

Longstaff’s record at Newcastle last season.
Leeds don’t have much Premier League experience in the middle of the park, with Ethan Ampadu the only player who has played in the English top flight previously.
The Whites suffered massively last season after the injuries to Wales international and Ilia Gruev, and had to sign Josuha Guilavogui in October, showcasing the lack of depth in the midfield.

Farke should ask for more midfield transfers at Leeds after Elland Road exits
Joe Rothwell has joined Rangers this summer after being a key player for the West Yorkshire outfit as they won the Championship title.
Farke will arguably be without one of his most influential midfielders from last season after Premier League promotion, and undoubtedly should ask for more additions after Longstaff.
The Whites will evidently require a lot of depth in their squad to handle the rigours of the English top flight as they look to avoid immediate relegation.
It will be interesting to see who the West Yorkshire outfit will pursue to strengthen their team in LS11 before the end of August.
