Alexander Isak is desperate to secure a transfer from Newcastle to Liverpool, but his behaviour has been poorly received by some on the red half of Merseyside

Alexander Isak's future has been a huge distraction for Newcastle this summer, and while the team performed well, his absence was costly at Aston Villa.

Newcastle have reportedly set their sights on Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak, should the Swedish forward depart the club this summer.

Hailed for his "sensational" goalscoring qualities by Sky Sports' Mark McAdam, Wissa is not Isak, but then he knows that, and Howe does too, and signing a player more limited in the scope of their attacking arsenal might actually mark a sure-fire route toward continuity of slick, effective attacking play.

Alexander Isak was left out of Newcastle’s squad for its opening game of the Premier League season at Aston Villa.

Newcastle are thought to be reluctant to sell Isak without signing a replacement, though with the September 1 transfer deadline looming, it could be difficult to convince clubs to sell their stars. Brentford forward Yoane Wissa has been a key target all summer, but the Bees may be hesitant to sell the attacker this late in the the window.

Alexander Isak has been defender by his national team coach who said 'Alex is a great guy and very professional' despite him going on strike.

Alexander Isak remains unavailable for selection for Newcastle heading into the start of the Premier League season amid ongoing uncertainty over the Sweden striker’s future at the club.
