West Ham manager David Moyes admits that he wanted to keep Harrison Ashby, who joined Newcastle United during the January transfer window.
Ashby could make his maiden appearance for Newcastle when his former club West Ham visit St James' Park on Saturday, with the Scotland under-21 international set to replace the injured Javi Manquillo in the matchday squad.
The 21-year-old completed a £3 million move from the London Stadium on transfer deadline day, and has penned a long-term contract with the Magpies.
