Alexander Isak is arguably the best player Newcastle United have produced in recent years. Last season, he was second in the Premier League Golden Boot race.
From January, he was linked with a move away from Newcastle. Arsenal had the Swede as their primary target. However, they failed to land him because Newcastle didn’t want to sell him.
So, this summer, the Gunners opted for another Swede, Viktor Gyokeres.
Now, Liverpool were shown interest in Isak from the time Arsenal links emerged. However, apparently, it seemed that Isak’s next destination would be the Emirates.
But now, things have changed, and it looks like Isak might be on his way to Anfield. Liverpool are now favourites to land the striker, and Isak is also desperate to join the current Premier League champions.
Liverpool did bid for Isak, but Newcastle rejected that bid without giving it a second thought. This enraged Isak because he doesn’t want to play for Newcastle again.
And now, journalist David Ornstein has come out to give us a shocking update in this Alexander Isak transfer saga.
The 25-year-old is now adamant that he will not play for the Magpies again, and he sees his Newcastle career as done and dusted.
However, Newcastle keep their firm stance that the player will not be sold. The Alexander Isak transfer saga is getting murkier as the player and the club both have taken a firm stance.
It is expected that Liverpool will bid again. But unless Newcastle are ready to let Isak go, the situation will go from bad to worse.
