'There are no excuses' - Hayden hopes for Newcastle exit in transfer window

Newcastle United midfielder Isaac Hayden says that he expects to leave the club this summer.

Hayden, who has been one of Newcastle’s best players this season, handed in a transfer request last summer in the hopes of moving to a club closer to his daughter, who was born prematurely and requires regular medical care, and his fiancee.

A move to Brighton fell through last year, and a loan move to either West Brom or Aston Villa, who both expressed interest in signing Hayden, also failed to happen in January after the Magpies were unable to sign a suitable replacement for the 24-year-old, who insists there is no reason he should not be allowed to leave the club when the transfer window opens.
