Newcastle Chronicle reporter Chris Waugh believes Magpies versatile midfielder Isaac Hayden's future is set to lie away from St. James Park. Waugh claims Rafa Benitez is now ‘struggling to trust him’ after his poor performances and after he put in a transfer request over the summer.
Newcastle United boss Benitez is known to like players that he can rely on, often players with ill-discipline have struggled to get game time - Aleksandar Mitrovic being a prime example of that. It seems that Hayden's recent ill-discipline has meant that he has fallen out of favour with the Spaniard.
