Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe openly pleaded for a quick resolution to the ongoing Alexander Isak transfer saga looming over Tyneside. The Magpies boss insisted that his star striker is more than welcome back in the first team, but the club’s travelling fans offered a rather different message.
As has been the case since Isak was left at home for Newcastle’s pre-season tour of Asia, talk around the club has focused on the Sweden international’s future. Liverpool are watching on diligently, with a second formal bid for the 25-year-old thought to be in the works after Isak reportedly declared his intention never to play for Newcastle again.
