Newcastle United midfielder Isaac Hayden feels there's much more to come from him.

The Evening Chronicle says Hayden is still keen to depart for personal reasons - with the former England Under-21 international having initially handed in a transfer request last summer.

Even if he does leave, Hayden hopes to see the Magpies start challenging for regular top-half Premier League finishes because he believes the fans deserve such reward as a minimum for their loyalty.

“I think it's there for everyone to see. The lads get so frustrated when they hear certain things," Hayden said when he was asked about NUFC's potential.

"I don't think anyone, even people who don't watch Newcastle or have an interest in Newcastle, have to see the potential.

"They have to see what's there in front of them - 52,000 fans, a stadium that's packed every week. It's always packed. Fans home and away, a one-club city. You know, the infrastructure is there. Everything's there."
