Isaac Hayden reportedly wanted to leave Newcastle United.
Isaac Hayden failed to make an impact at Arsenal, and the former England Under-21 international defensive midfielder has not been exactly great at Newcastle United either.
Hayden joined Newcastle from Arsenal in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee reported by The Northern Echo to be worth £2.5 million.
The 23-year-old defensive midfielder made 28 starts and five substitute appearances in the Championship for the Magpies during the 2016-17 campaign, scoring two goals and providing three assists in the process.
The Englishman managed make 15 starts and 11 substitute appearances in the Premier League last season, scoring one goal in the process.
According to Sky Sports, Hayden wants to leave Newcastle due to family reasons and has handed in a transfer request at the Magpies.
The Argus has reported that Brighton and Hove Albion are interested in signing the former Arsenal prospect in the summer transfer window.
Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation on Hayden, who earns £22,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com.
