Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe has described the situation with Alexander Isak as “complex” and “far from ideal.” Isak has made it clear that he wants to leave Newcastle this summer and was left out of the squad for their pre-season tour to Singapore and South Korea.

Eddie Howe has made his feelings clear on Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak alternative. Isak has played no part in Newcastle’s pre-season preparations after going on strike in a bid to force through a move to Liverpool and missed the opening game of the Premier League season at Aston Villa as a result.

Newcastle United believe that there is a chance that Goncalo Ramos will join, which will allow Liverpool to sign Alexander Isak.
