Alexander Isak has not played for Newcastle this season after the club rejected a bid from Liverpool, leaving his future uncertain ahead of the transfer window deadline. Manager Eddie Howe says he has not been involved in recent transfer talks and is concentrating energy on the players available to him. Howe wants clarity so the squad can focus on results as the season begins. Newcastle produced two strong performances but only collected one point and now face Leeds. Anthony Gordon received a red card after a VAR review, adding to Howe's selection challenges.
We want clarity, we want to move forward, we want the narrative to change because we're in the start of the season now. We're into the action and we've got to get results, and we've got to try to focus on what we can control. We've given two really, really good performances, we've ended up with one point. That's tough for us to take, especially in this moment where you're looking for positives to cling to.
I've not been party to talks on this for a long time now. I've been preparing the team and giving all my energy to the players that want to play for Newcastle. I think that is where my energy is best put at the moment.
