Alan Shearer maintains Newcastle needs two new strikers - rather than just one - before they contemplate allowing Alexander Isak to depart, as the player's aspirations of joining Liverpool continue to fade.

Yoane Wissa remains on their radar, but Shearer has emphasised that Newcastle are in need of two additional forwards before Isak can be sold.

Isak clearly wants to leave St James' Park and join Liverpool, but he cannot be sold if they don't get anyone in to replace him.

"It's not just one new striker Newcastle need, either

Callum Wilson moved on earlier in the summer so the reality is that if they don't get two centre-forwards in, Isak does not go anywhere.



Isak remains away from the team with his future still uncertain

Several midfielders have been transferred for around the £100M ($134M) mark, which makes Isak considerably more valuable in today's market.

He further commented: "In recent years we have seen Enzo Fernandez, Declan Rice and Jack Grealish go for around £100M so, if that is the bar, they are never going to get Isak - a 25-year-old striker who has scored 44 Premier League goals across the past two seasons - for £110M."
