REPORT;Isaac Hayden now finally set to sign for a new club
Isaac Hayden is finally set to join a new club.
Media on the south coast are reporting (see below) that the Newcastle United midfielder is set to join Portsmouth.
The News reports that their information is that initially, it will be a loan agreement until the end of the season.
As things stand, Isaac Hayden still has 18 months left on his Newcastle United contract.
If/when Isaac Hayden does sign for Portsmouth, he will join a squad that has two other former Newcastle United players – Matt Ritchie and Elias Sorensen.
The News report – 8 January 2025:
‘The News understands the Newcastle midfielder is poised to complete a Fratton Park loan switch for the remainder of the season.
Hayden was pivotal in QPR’s escape from relegation from the Championship last season after arriving on loan from St James’ Park in the January 2024 transfer window.
The 29-year-old subsequently made 17 appearances as Rangers scrambled to 18th place to avoid the drop into League One.
He has not played first-team football since returning to Newcastle at the season’s end, yet remains contracted until the summer of 2026.
The report from The Telegraph states that their sources have told them that Chelsea are the only club that have ever made any kind of an approach for the United striker.
They say this happened in the summer and once told that any bidding would start at £150m, Chelsea swiftly backed off.
The Telegraph say that Newcastle United had zero interest in selling anyway and that they quoted a figure to the Stamford Bridge club, simply to ensure that it nipped the speculation in the bud. Well, as much as that is possible when it comes to the media with any transfer story.
