Newcastle United transfers: Isaac Hayden could be on the move from St James’ Park this summer with four Championship teams set to miss out on his signature.
Here, we round-up all the latest stories that have emerged from St James’ Park and beyond:
Championship quartet delivered transfer blow
Middlesbrough, West Brom, QPR and Millwall have been delivered a major blow in their pursuit of Newcastle United man Isaac Hayden. The quartet, along with Southampton, had been linked with a move for the midfielder this summer.
However, fresh reports from Football Insider claim that Hayden is set to join Premier League newcomers Luton Town. Hayden has been training away from the first-team and didn’t feature for the Magpies during pre-season, with his last appearance coming back in December 2021.
Ex-Newcastle United youngster joins League Two side
Bradford City have announced the signing of former Newcastle United man Adam Wilson. The 23-year-old has moved to Valley Parade from Welsh Premier League side The New Saints (TNS). Wilson featured for Newcastle’s Under-21 side and played in the EFL Trophy for the Magpies but never made a senior appearance for the club before leaving to join TNS last summer.
Speaking about his move to the Bantams, Wilson admitted it was ‘difficult’ to say no to a move to Bradford – a team he believes should be playing higher up in the football pyramid. Wilson said: “This is a big club that should be a lot higher up in the leagues, with a great manager and fanbase, so it was difficult to say no.
“I love playing in front of big crowds. I did it a few times at Newcastle, and it really gets your adrenaline going.”

Spurs Web Opinion
Based on the players Spurs are being linked with over the last two weeks, it seems like Postecoglou feels he reinforce Kulusevski on the right side. Perhaps the Australian is not fully convinced that Solomon is the answer. Bakayoko is very similar to Kulusevski but is a little more aggressive than the Swede in one-on-one situations.
