Forgotten Newcastle outcasts set to seal shock deadline day transfers to Standard Liege and Sheffield Wednesday
NEWCASTLE stars Jeff Hendrick and Isaac Hayden are on the verge of leaving the club, according to reports.
Both players spent the 2022/23 season on loan in the Championship after falling out of favour at St James' Park.
Hendrick, who made 46 appearances for Reading last season, reportedly completed a medical this afternoon ahead of tonight's transfer deadline.
Hayden was also lined up to join the Owls, but Newcastle received a late bid from Belgian side Standard Liege this afternoon.
