Middlesbrough’s position on the £25 million player was clear, but Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur handed a transfer blow.
According to a report, despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, Middlesbrough will not sell Hayden Hackney.
At the age of 22, the midfielder has emerged as a revelation at the Riverside, becoming a vital member of Michael Carrick’s team.
With a string of outstanding performances in the Championship, he has defied his youth and gained international attention with the England under-21 team.
Newcastle and Tottenham have shown admiration for his accomplishments, according to GiveMeSport. But it seems like both might end up dissatisfied.
The report claims Middlesbrough have ruled out the possibility of sanctioning a January exit for Hackney, who has not missed a single Championship game this season.
Although his estimated value is over £25 million, Middlesbrough is reportedly unwilling to go with its most sought-after asset.
Hackney, a youngster who came through the club’s junior system, made his debut in January 2021.
He has earned caps for both England and Scotland at the under-21 level, making him eligible to play for both countries.
