Newcastle submitted a £50million offer for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, which Wolves rejected. Alexander Isak is on strike and will miss Newcastle's fixture against Liverpool while pursuing a move to Liverpool after a £110m bid was rejected. Newcastle missed several striker targets including Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko, and aim to sign two forwards before considering any sale of Isak. Callum Wilson departed after last season, leaving William Osula as the only recognised central striker. Brentford rejected Newcastle offers for Yoane Wissa, the latest valued at £35million plus £5m in add-ons. Wolves insist Strand-Larsen is not for sale.
Isak will miss his second successive game to start the new Premier League season on Monday when Newcastle face Liverpool at St James' Park. The Sweden international is on strike as he attempts to force through a move to Liverpool, who have had one bid worth a reported £110m for Isak rejected by the Magpies. Newcastle have seen several moves for strikers fall through during an otherwise productive transfer window.
They have missed out on the likes of Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko, and are said to want to sign two strikers before they would consider a sale of Isak. Newcastle let Callum Wilson leave following the end of last season, and William Osula is their only recognised central striker in Isak's absence. Brentford's Yoane Wissa is determined to join Newcastle before the end of the transfer window on September 1, but the Bees have rejected two offers for the DR Congo international, the latest reported to be worth £35million plus £5m in add-ons.
