Alexander Isak has already ruled out one move after informing Newcastle United of his readiness to leave the club.

Eddie Howe admits that Newcastle United’s board “have a decision to make” when it comes to Alexander Isak’s future, but insists that whatever the outcome it must be in the best interests of the club.

Liverpool have already approached Newcastle over signing Isak for around £120million, but were quickly told that the player is not for sale. Isak's push to leave is expected to soften Newcastle's stance, and Howe has confirmed that the situation continues to evolve.
