# Newcastle United: Magpies risk losing Matty Longstaff on loan

**Newcastle United are now reportedly at risk of losing Matty Longstaff on a loan deal before the summer transfer window ends.**

### The Lowdown: Longstaff exit?

There have been a number of [reports](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-transfer-rumours/matty-longstaff-sheffield-united-blackburn-huddersfield/) throughout the window that the St. James’ Park faithful are willing to let Longstaff out on loan.

However, with just a few days until the window shuts, a deal will have to be done fast, so that they can potentially bring in a replacement for him.

### The Latest: Longstaff targeted

As per [The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9924103/Newcastle-allow-Matty-Longstaff-leave-loan-summer.html), Longstaff is a loan target for both Sheffield United and Huddersfield Town.

The news outlet quotes Steve Bruce as admitting that he has had a ‘conversation’ with him about the possibility of sending him out on loan, and a move could well happen ‘in the next couple of days’.

### The Verdict: Loan out

Longstaff was limited to just five senior matches in the Premier League in the 2020/21 term ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matthew-longstaff/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/484387/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=762&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)), and so a loan move away from the North East would suit all parties.

Dubbed a [‘talented’](https://www.footballinsider247.com/campbell-west-brom-could-seal-big-coup-in-longstaff-signing-after-reported-update/) player by pundit Kevin Campbell back in June, the Englishman still has potential, and being a local boy, the Tyneside club should not be looking to sell him on a permanent deal.

Thus, sending him out on loan would be ideal, so that he can get some more regular game time and come back a better player.
