Viktor Gyokeres has justified his and Alexander Isak's tactics for securing summer transfers.
The Arsenal forward downed tools at Sporting CP before securing his Emirates switch, whilst Isak declared he would never represent Newcastle again as he pushed for a move to Liverpool.

"We all play and the clubs have the most power.
"When it is a player who is not wanted in that club I think it's the total opposite, He doesn't have any power, the club can literally do whatever they want with the player

Despite a turbulent conclusion to his Newcastle career, Isak delivered a heartfelt farewell message to the club
Writing on Instagram, Isak declared: "I want to express my gratitude to my teammates, the staff, and above all, the city of Newcastle and all the amazing supporters for the three unforgettable years we shared together.
