Newcastle United are yet to strike a deal for Real Sociedad star Alexander Isak after being quoted an inflated price for the Sweden international.
The La Liga club have not denied discussions for Isak with a £50million fee mooted for the 22-year-old. And the Anoeta Stadium side have responded to Chronicle Live when asked about Newcastle's interest.
A communications official told us: "The only thing we have to say is that he will be back for training on Thursday." United have made over a dozen enquiries on forward players in recent times with sporting director Dan Ashworth stepping up United's chase for a goalscorer.
