Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United have been linked with Newcastle United’s Isaac Hayden.

Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce has told The Chronicle that he wants reported Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United target Isaac Hayden to stay.

According to The Chronicle, West Ham, Villa and Brighton and Hove Albion are interested in signing Hayden from Newcastle in the summer transfer window.

The Northern Echo has credited Wolves and Watford with interest in the 24-year-old defensive midfielder, who is valued at £15 million.

Newcastle manager Bruce, though, has said that he wants the former Arsenal prospect to sign a new contract, and has suggested that the defensive midfielder wants to stay at St. James’ Park.

Bruce told The Chronicle about Hayden: “He’s up for staying. We want to give him a new contract.”

Newcastle United stay

Hayden is a very good defensive midfielder, and it would make sense for Newcastle to hold onto the former Arsenal prospect.

The Magpies are likely to fight for survival in the Premier League this season, and they need to keep their best players in order to stay up in the top flight of English football.
