Having been on Arsenal’s books since 2008, Hayden himself has represented England at every level from under-16 up to under-20. Widely regarded as a centre-half, he is comfortable being deployed in the defensive midfield role.
Hayden reportedly undertook a successful medical yesterday afternoon, with the deal to be finalised and announced in the coming days. A popular player amongst the Hull City faithful with Championship experience and a promising future, this transfer could prove to be a real coup for Mike Ashley and the Toon Army.
At 21 years of age, Newcastle have acquired a versatile and industrious defensive minded player with true leadership qualities.
