Eddie Howe has admitted Newcastle have a decision to make on Alexander Isak's future but reiterated his hope that the striker will stay at the club this season.

Eddie Howe has not eased uncertainty over Alexander Isak's Newcastle United future by admitting that there are no ongoing contract talks with the wantaway striker. Isak wants to leave St. James' Park this summer and is eyeing a blockbuster switch to Liverpool, who were ready to splash £120million for his signature earlier in the month.

According to reports, Alexander Isak has received a 'whopping offer' to leave Newcastle United amid interest from Premier League rivals Liverpool.

Two of last season's top-five finishers in the Premier League meet Sunday at Singapore National Stadium in Kallang, as Arsenal and Newcastle United clash well away from the United Kingdom.

The Newcastle United academy graduate has only played at Elland Road in front of fans once. It was the night in January 2022 when he replaced an injured Joelinton before half-time, the night Jonjo Shelvey sealed a smash-and-grab away win for Eddie Howe’s visitors with a 75th-minute free kick.

Newcastle’s torrid summer has gone from bad to worse after Manchester City hijacked their move for England Under-21 goalkeeper James Trafford.

Newcastle United are considering Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen as a potential Alexander Isak replacement, Manchester City want defender Tino Livramento and Bayern Munich resume talks with Liverpool to sign Luis Diaz.

Former Arsenal assistant sporting director Jason Ayto was also interviewed but it is anticipated that Wilson will be offered the position.

Over the past few years, Newcastle United have steadily built up their reputation in the Premier League. From being a mid-table side, they are now competing regularly for a spot in the top four.
