Newcastle United lost out on Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool, and to add insult to that transfer injury, Liverpool might also end up with Alexander Isak, too! Newcastle’s leading goalscorer sure seems to be trying to force a move to the Premier League champions, leaving the Magpies in desperate need of a striker ... or two.

Eddie Howe has admitted that Alexander Isak’s Newcastle United future is not in his “full control”. Isak has made clear he wants to leave the club this summer with Liverpool previously communicating their interest in a move for the 25-year-old.
