Langstaff scored an amazing 42 goals in 47 games while playing for Notts County, who were promoted from the National League.

The 26-year-old has scored 20 goals this season, demonstrating that his jump to the Football League hasn’t affected him as County looks to win back-to-back promotions.

It should come as no surprise that clubs at a higher level have taken notice of the forward’s performance, since HITC has disclosed that there is significant interest in him.

“HITC Football has been informed that Peterborough United is eager to sign the 26-year-old to support their League One promotion campaign.

The asking price for Macaulay Langstaff in Notts County

As anticipated, a hefty price by League Two standards would be needed to persuade Notts County to part with their outstanding player during the January transfer window.

They are attempting to get promoted to the third division, and Langstaff leaving would be a huge blow on top of losing head coach Luke Williams to Swansea City.

Every player has a price, though, and according to the update, a bid of about £1.5 million will be needed to close a transfer within the next few weeks.

Macaulay Langstaff is prepared to take the next move.
It appears like Langstaff may need to make a choice regarding his future. Although remaining at Meadow Lane is an appealing option, he might find it tough to pass up the opportunity to play at a higher level.

Although the move to the Championship is significant, Langstaff would be a viable choice for Birmingham and Sunderland, who are both in need of offensive reinforcements this month. The Black Cats, who want to place in the top six once more, seem like the greatest choice on paper.
