Eddie Howe has described Alexander Isak’s statement accusing Newcastle of breaking promises over his desired transfer to Liverpool as a “sad moment”.
Isak claimed Newcastle have reneged on their vow to allow the striker to leave St James’ Park this summer, after the club rejected a £110m offer from Liverpool. Newcastle responded with a counter-statement suggesting Isak would be staying this season and underlining that they “do not foresee those conditions [of a sale] being met]” before the transfer deadline on 1 September.
