There are players who will have played their last games for Newcastle United ahead of a busy summer transfer window.

Newcastle United midfielder Isaac Hayden has hinted that his future could lie away from St James’ Park.

The 27-year-old was left out of the Magpies’ 25-man Premier League squad for the second-half of the campaign after undergoing knee surgery.

Hayden is back to full fitness having returned to training in recent weeks and is ready to begin playing again next season.

However, the former Arsenal youngster is aware that might not be on Tyneside, with United preparing for a busy summer transfer window.

Head coach Eddie Howe has admitted players will depart, meaning a number of players are waiting to learn their fate.

Hayden joined his Newcastle teammates in their end of campaign lap of honour following the 2-0 victory against Arsenal on Monday night.

Replying to a video showing the electric atmosphere inside St James’ Park, Hayden said: “What a football club, the future is bright and will be a pleasure to watch it in whatever capacity that is.”

Hayden joined United from Arsenal in 2016 and in his first season won the Championship title.

In total, the midfielder has made 171 appearances.
