Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher lamented the conduct carried out by Alexander Isak which forced through his move away from Newcastle United, warning that this summer’s transfer exiles have set a worrying precedent going forward.
Isak was not alone in going on strike. Yoane Wissa went public with his desire to leave Brentford before eventually sealing a move to Newcastle, while Arsenal’s Viktor Gyökeres was fined by Sporting CP after failing to report for pre-season training earlier in the summer.
