Hayden could stay at Newcastle after midfield injury crisis

Isaac Hayden has an uncertain future at Newcastle, with the defensive-midfielder having handed in a transfer request back in July and still seeking an exit from St James’ Park. The Magpies reportedly rejected a bid from West Bromwich Albion in January and may have interest from Aston Villa to contend with, but Hayden will only be granted a move when Newcastle identify a replacement.

The 23-year-old has made 79 appearances in all competitions for Newcastle since joining the North-East club from Arsenal in 2016, but he’s found himself on the periphery this season.
