A young Geordie midfielder who goes by the name of Longstaff has been the talk of the training ground at Newcastle this summer.
Only, it is not Manchester United target Sean Longstaff who is getting new boss Steve Bruce and his staff excited, but his younger brother Matty.
The 19-year-old has shone during his first pre-season with the first team.
He fulfilled a “dream” by playing with Sean in the senior side during Newcastle's Premier League Asia Trophy win over West Ham in China earlier this month.
Longstaff then started last weekend's friendly defeat at Preston, when he was replaced at half-time by his older sibling.
And he can now expect to make his competitive debut this term with Bruce likely to keep him in his set-up rather than letting him out on loan.
The Longstaffs are the first brothers to play in the Toon's first team since Shola Ameobi and Sammy Ameobi.
BOX-TO-BOX MIDFIELDER
But while they are both central midfielders - and Matty was mistaken for Sean by Chinese fans during the club's pre-season tour - they are very different players.
He is a busy box-to-box player, who chases down defenders and his athleticism has amazed coaches on Tyneside.
The tenacious ginger starlet is versatile, having previously played as a right-back and a No10.
But Longstaff's best position is in the middle with the license to push further forward than Sean.
Like his brother, he has never been picked in any of England's youth teams.
Yet he is likely to be looked at by the Three Lions' age-group scouts if his pre-season progress continues into the new campaign.
HIGH AMBITIONS
Longstaff, whose dad David played ice-hockey for Great Britain, said: "I'm trying to soak everything in like a wet sponge.
“I want to try and take everything in and become a better player and hopefully get to where the first-team players are at.
The fans are always amazing. Growing up, I was one of them and I loved it.”
"I can't thank the manager enough for giving me a chance.
“Every chance I get I will keep trying to take.
“At the minute, I just want to keep enjoying it and try to learn from all the pros to get better.
“As a local lad growing up, you always dream of playing for Newcastle United.
“The fans are always amazing. Growing up, I was one of them and I loved it.”
Man Utd lining up £30m Sean Longstaff bid but Newcastle boss Steve Bruce tells them to forget it.
