Newcastle United star Isaac Hayden looks to be heading back to the club's first team.
Hayden has played 11 games for Standard Liege during a loan spell so far this term.
Per Chronicle Live, his career has stagnated and he may be eager to return to St. James' Park.
One Belgian journalist admitted earlier this season that Hayden may want to leave Liege.
The player responded on Twitter (now X): "Instead of spreading nonsense, just ask the club or myself instead of speculation. It's not difficult."
Now, Liege CEO Pierre Locht has told La Dernière Heure: “It's likely that he won't come back [to Belgium], yes.
"We wanted a player who brought an immediate superior quality to the team.
"Isaac had a lot of experience in the Premier League. He's a true number six, capable of settling the game, a stable element.
“But, in the image of the team, he had some good games but was then too inconsistent."
