Newcastle are without a win in the Premier League's opening two gameweeks and face an active transfer saga over Alexander Isak's future. Isak is keen on a move to Liverpool and is rumoured to have watched Newcastle's recent defeat from a private box after outlining his stance to club chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan. The player is adamant promises made by members of the Newcastle hierarchy have been broken and considers his relationship with the club irreparable. Newcastle have spent weeks pursuing replacements to enable a British record transfer to Liverpool and will only sell if adequate signings are secured. Yoane Wissa, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Nicolas Jackson have been linked, with bids and approaches made but none successful so far; Brentford and Wolves remain reluctant to sell.
Only if the club manage to sign a replacement or two are Newcastle willing to sell the striker who scored 27 goals across all competitions last season. Premier League trio Yoane Wissa, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Nicolas Jackson have all been linked with a move to St. James' Park this summer, with Newcastle lodging two bids for the former and a further two approaches for the Scandinavian Wolves attacker, although all have been unsuccessful so far.
Isak is rumoured to have watched the game at the stadium, tucked away in a private box accompanied by family members, after outlining his stance to club chairman and PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan during a private meeting that day. The player is adamant promises made by members of the Newcastle hierarchy have been broken and considers his relationship with the club irreparable.
