After Newcastle’s last-gasp defeat to Liverpool on Saturday evening, Isaac Hayden paid tribute to the club and its supporters while reiterating his desire to leave St James’ Park this summer. The 24-year-old’s contract runs until 2021, but he’s made it clear to Newcastle that he wants out for person reasons.
Hayden says he’s enjoyed his time in the North-East, telling reporters: “It’s been fantastic. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. My family situation is more important to me at this moment in time. It’s been a pleasure to play for Newcastle United. You never know what the future holds, but it’s been a pleasure to play in front of these fans every other week.
