​Newcastle United Isaac Hayden has opened up about his frustrating spell at Arsenal and has said that he is keen to prove his worth in the Premier League next season.





The 22-year-old left the Gunners last summer without having played a game for the club. However, he has since helped Newcastle make an immediate return to the Premier League and is eager to show that he can produce the goods at the highest level.

"Maybe this is the biggest summer I have had," he said, as quoted by the ​Shields Gazette.





"Last summer I went back to Arsenal and I knew I wasn’t going to be staying there, so it was a bit of frustrating summer after promotion last season with Hull.





"I wanted to make sure I was playing football, and it’s not easy when you know you might have to leave, especially when the club doesn’t want you to go initially.





"I didn’t get much of a summer holiday last time because of the play-offs.





"And then I had to go back to pre-season early. I was back in June, not even July.





"This summer it will be nice to have a bit of a break."

Hayden scored in promoted United’s 2-0 win over Cardiff City on Friday night as his side look to edge Brighton and Hove Albion to the Championship title. But the England Under-21 international feels that he has a point to prove to himself next season.





"I was very frustrated with my time at Arsenal," he added.





"I felt I deserved more of a chance and I got an injury at a key time. You need to take advantage of small windows.





"I have a point to prove to myself, I know I am capable of playing Premier League football, and hopefully that will be next season."
