Newcastle United's hopes of signing young West Ham United defender Harrison Ashby on deadline day appear to be unlikely to come to fruition.
First reported by the Daily Mail on Thursday morning, the Magpies have been keen on a move for the young Hammers defender, who has only a year left on his contract, with Newcastle short at right-back due to a long-term injury to Emil Krafth. Both reports of a bid of £2million and a potential loan move have been reported on deadline day.
However, football.london understands that the Hammers are not keen on losing the defender in the summer window and that Ashby, who featured in the Europa Conference League play-off qualifying round first leg win over Viborg last month, is now looking like he will stay at the London Stadium this summer.
