Newcastle United’s Isaac Hayden is reportedly on the radar of Aston Villa and Stoke City in the summer transfer window.
It has been reported that Championship duo Villa and Stoke are showing interest in signing Hayden on loan from Premier League club Newcastle.
The 23-year-old defensive midfielder’s transfer request earlier this summer was turned down by the Magpies, according to the report, which also claims that manager Rafael Benitez has told that he is in his plans for the 2018-19 campaign.
The Mirror (Transfer Live blog, 05:14am, Friday, August 17, 2018) has further reported that the former Arsenal prospect is “anxious to resolve his future as soon as possible”.
Good signing for Aston Villa or Stoke City?
Hayden is a very good and promising defensive midfielder, and the 23-year-old would be a good signing for Villa or Stoke in the Championship.
Both the Villa and the Potters are aiming to win promotion to the Premier League, and the former England Under-21 international – who earns £22,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com.
