Matty Longstaff is eager to settle new terms with Newcastle United.

The midfielder is inside the final year of his deal and will be free to negotiate with overseas clubs from January.

“Yeah, obviously I want to stay at Newcastle but the biggest thing for me is just to carry on playing well and that will take care of itself," Longstaff told ChronicleLive.

Longstaff was originally due to go out on loan to League Two clubs, with Bradford City keen to offer him first team football.

But after impressing in pre-season, Steve Bruce decided to keep him at St James' Park and he now looks set to reprise his midfield partnership with brother Sean at Chelsea as the pair's meteoric rise continues.
