Arsenal had been keen on signing Benjamin Sesko this summer but backed out and Newcastle now view him as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak, who is pondering an exit

Newcastle's latest pre-season defeat at least brought some positives. There was no Isak again but Elanga is off the mark

Just how good is Alexander Isak? Can the Magpies compete on all fronts without him? Would paying the Swede upset the Newcastle project?

Isak helped Newcastle United return to Champions League play and win the EFL Cup while scoring 27 goals and assisting six more in all competitions last season, and that would be a massive addition anywhere that he would potentially land if he does leave the club.

Brentford striker Yoane Wissa is determined to join United this summer, as speculation surrounding Alexander Isak's move to Liverpool rumbles on.

According to reports, Newcastle United star Alexander Isak has ‘set a condition’ for him to ‘accept an offer’ amid interest from Liverpool. Earlier this week, Liverpool‘s chances of signing Isak improved as the striker informed Newcastle of his intention to ‘explore’ a move elsewhere this summer.

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak was spotted training alone today amid reports he has picked up a minor injury as rumours continue to swirl surrounding his future. Al Hilal and Liverpool are both thought to be interested in the Swede’s services this summer, despite Newcastle’s insistence that the striker is not for sale.
