My View: Hayden Hackney could be a good signing for Newcastle

ﷺIn my opinion, Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney could be a good signing for Newcastle United in the long run.

🔥While I do not expect Boro to sell the 21-year-old midfielder in the middle of the season, a transfer could happen in the summer of 2024, especially if they do not win promotion to the Premier League.

💞Of course, Newcastle would have to be patient with the Englishman. After all, he is only 21 now and has not played in the Premier League.

✨But, Hackney has potential and is doing well in the Championship. I think that he has what it takes to step up to the Premier League.

🌳Hackney has made 16 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Middlesbrough so far this season. He has scored one goal in those games.
