Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has revealed that Alan Shearer is "very involved" with the squad as he opened up on the influence that the club legend has had on him personally.
Isak has headed into the international break in fine form as a Newcastle player having scored three goals in his last two starts for the Magpies. Nominations for both player and goal of the month awards have capped off what has been a fine month for the former Real Sociedad man.
Eddie Howe's side now sit just two points outside of the top four but know that victory against Manchester United in their first game back from the international break would see them move up into third on goal difference. A raucous St James' Park will no doubt hope Isak can find the back of the net once again against Erik ten Hag's squad.
