Pundit Carlton Palmer thinks Isaac Hayden could be what Sheffield Wednesday need to help stave off relegation this season
EFL pundit Carlton Palmer believes that Newcastle United midfielder Isaac Hayden would be a “good acquisition” for Sheffield Wednesday in the January transfer window.
Hayden joined Belgium club Standard Liege on deadline day in the summer, after a move to Wednesday fell through. However, his time at the club has not been ideal, making only 11 appearances in all competitions as he has failed to shine in the Belgian league.
The 28-year-old central midfielder has been linked with several EFL clubs in January, with the Owls joining the likes of Preston North End and Plymouth Argyle in chasing him for his signature in the transfer window.
While he turned down a chance to stay in England in the summer, Standard Liege’s financial difficulties could spell an end to his time on loan in Belgium and force a move to a club further down the league than Newcastle for the rest of the season.
Wednesday are currently sat 22nd in the Championship, with hopes of avoiding the drop this season. Manager Danny Rohl will be keen to add to his squad this season to help stave off relegation, with Hayden potentially being a key part of that equation.
