West Ham United manager David Moyes has said that right-back Harrison Ashby wanted to leave the club ahead of his imminent £3million move to Newcastle United.
The Scottish right-back is set to complete a switch to St. James' Park imminently after a deal worth £3m plus add-ons was agreed with the Hammers for the 21-year-old on Sunday.
Speaking on the move, which is close to being finalised, Moyes said that the Scottish defender wanted to complete a move, with Newcastle coming close to signing him in the summer.
