Report: Isaac Hayden joins Newcastle from Arsenal

Rich in potential, Isaac Hayden is reportedly done at the Emirates Stadium.

According to Pete Graves of Sky, Hayden is moving from Arsenal to Newcastle United on a five-year, permanent deal.

Hayden, a 21-year-old who can operate in central midfield or in defence, made his senior debut in 2013, taking the pitch in Arsenal's win over West Bromwich Albion in the Capital One Cup. However, he then suffered an ankle injury that halted his progress and spent the 2015-16 season on loan at Hull City, where he made 18 Championship appearances and helped the Tigers earn promotion to the Premier League.

Graves' report came as Lee Ryder of Chronicle Live reported that Newcastle has had two bids snubbed for Blackburn Rovers' Grant Hanley but remain in talks with Rovers over signing the Scotsman.
