Newcastle United are set to recall Matty Longstaff from Aberdeen.

The Magpies have a clause inserted into his season long loan deal which means the arrangement can be cut short in January, says the Chronicle Live.

And Longstaff's representatives are hoping to trigger that clause as soon as possible.

Longstaff is set to return to the club's first team training base with Eddie Howe and his staff then expected to run the rule over him before deciding his next move.

Longstaff could either get the chance to prove himself or be sent back out on loan.
