"Tottenham were among the Premier League sides exploring a move for Hayden Hackney in the January transfer window, but their interest has now cooled significantly following the 34 million signing of Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid. With Spurs' midfield reinforced and priorities shifting, the club has paused its pursuit of the highly rated Middlesbrough midfielder. Middlesbrough's stance throughout the window has been unwavering, Hackney is not for sale unless a club meets their minimum 30 million valuation,"
"One angle that remains very much alive is Manchester United's admiration for Hackney. The Carrick connection is central, United's interim manager is a long-time admirer of the midfielder from his time at the Riverside, and club scouts continue to track the player closely. Man United chose not to push for Hackney last summer when assessing young midfield targets, but their long-term midfield rebuild means his name has not fallen off the list."
"With Casemiro expected to depart, Kobbie Mainoo still developing, and Manuel Ugarte struggling for consistency, Hackney remains a player United view as having Premier League-ready attributes. Everton, Brighton and Fulham have been monitoring Hackney closely, but each club faces its own constraints. Hackney has been one of the Championship's most complete central midfielders this season. The youngster has impressed top clubs in England"
Tottenham explored a January move for Hayden Hackney but interest cooled after the 34 million signing of Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid. Spurs paused their pursuit as midfield priorities shifted and the club strengthened. Middlesbrough will not sell Hackney unless a club meets their minimum 30 million valuation and have no intention of accepting cut-price January offers while they remain in the promotion race. Sources expect no bids to meet that price this month and prefer to reassess in the summer. Manchester United retain admiration for Hackney, with Carrick and club scouts tracking him amid midfield transitions. Everton, Brighton and Fulham have monitored him but face constraints; Hackney is admired for his ball progression and completeness as a central midfielder.
