Newcastle boss Howe talks Longstaff future; Guimaraes impact

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe says they want to keep hold of Sean Longstaff.

The midfielder comes off contract in June.

Howe said, "He's someone I have a lot respect for, a lot of time for. When he has played, he's done very well.

"I see a long-term future for him, we just hope we can get a contract sorted."

On Bruno Guimaraes, he added: "He's a really, really great lad. He's got a really unique mix - he's a really friendly and happy guy who mixes well with his team-mates but he's also got a steely determination when he enters the pitch. He's a real competitor.

"I think the celebration with the ballboy [after the Wolves game] just reflects his softer, human side. He's a really good person and he cares about other people. It was a really nice moment for the ballboy and he'll remember that for the rest of his life."
