Isaac Hayden insists he's only focused on a future with Newcastle United.

Hayden's long-term future at St James' Park has been the subject on speculation in recent days, with a report earlier this week suggesting the 26-year-old could be used as a makeweight in a deal for Watford star Will Hughes.

The holding midfielder is also said to be interesting Southampton, with claims on Sunday indicating the Saints are mulling over a £10m move, reports ChronicleLive.

But celebrating five years with the club, Hayden posted to social media today: "5 Years today defending the @nufc badge. What a journey it's been, wouldn't have changed it for the world.

"Looking forward to the season ahead. #NUFC "
