Ethan Ampadu could play key role in Sean Longstaff leaving Leeds

Sean Longstaff's Leeds future uncertain as Ethan Ampadu's emergence could prompt the midfielder to seek a move away.

Sean Longstaff, who joined Leeds United in summer 2025 from Newcastle, has struggled to establish himself under manager Daniel Farke, receiving just 10 minutes across two Premier League appearances this season. Sources suggest that the emergence of Ethan Ampadu could influence Longstaff's next move, with the 28-year-old midfielder potentially deciding to leave Elland Road as the winter transfer window approaches. His lack of playing time has left him dissatisfied with his current situation.
