Eddie Howe admits spending £58m on Alexander Isak isn’t value for money - but is still a good deal.
The United coach says the inflated prices of the transfer market are “incredible” this summer, but rebuilding Newcastle means having to move with the times and smash their old spending limits. Howe is set to hand Swedish striker Isak his debut at Wolves on Sunday, most likely off the bench, after just two training sessions with his squad on Tyneside.
Asked about the burden to succeed now that Saudi funded club have spent £210m spree on eight players since January, Howe joked: “Now you’ve said it like that, yes! Sounds a lot, doesn’t it.”
