Hey, this is a slightly dubious rumor from a friend who has some connections in football world. Apparently with Newcastles apparent youth fire sale to produce a budget for Benitez. Reading are monitoring the situation of both Adam Armstrong and Sean Longstaff.
I am a bit undecided whether this would be a good idea as Armstrong is largely unproven at Champoinship level. and though Longstaff had a good season at Blackpool last year he has also not taken the step up. FYI if you have not heard of Longstaff he is a utility Midfielder who has played Wing, Am, CM and CF 45 games on loan at Blackpool last year and 9 goal. Maybe Boll**ks but still interesting.
