Isaac Hayden looks set to complete a deadline day move to QPR.
As revealed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Hayden’s loan switch to Loftus Road is ‘done and sealed’ after he returned to Tyneside last month from a disappointing stint at Standard Liege.
Hayden made 10 appearances for the Belgian side, but revealed that the club weren’t paying salaries on time and will now spend the second half of the 2023/24 season with Championship side QPR.
He is still contracted to Newcastle until 2026, so won’t be released on his return this summer, but will play alongside former Mag Jack Colback at the West London club.

Discussing his disastrous spell at Standard Liege last month, Hayden said:
“The main reason why I left Standard Liege is that the club does not pay salaries on time… and does not pay them. I will now initiate legal proceedings against the club to obtain the wages that Standard Liege owes me.
“For example, I received my November salary… on December 28th. They also didn’t pay the players’ bonuses and now the December salaries haven’t been paid and we’re almost at the end of January…It’s a real disaster!”
Why has he not been given a chance when we are short of numbers in central midfield?
