Arsenal and Carlo Ancelotti reportedly want Newcastle United’s most talented player

Arsenal and Everton are among the clubs linked with Newcastle United’s Matty Longstaff.

Jetro Willems has said on Twitter that reported Arsenal, Everton and West Ham United target Matty Longstaff is the most talented player at Newcastle United.

Longstaff is out of contract at Newcastle at the end of the season, and has been linked with moves away from the Magpies.

According to TEAMtalk, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton and David Moyes’s West Ham are interested in securing the services of the 20-year-old midfielder.
