Alexander Isak will be "fuming" at Liverpool for not getting a mega-money deal done, according to Ben Foster.

The 25-year-old has been working away from the Toon's main squad after he missed the club's pre-season tour of Asia.

Additionally, Isak has reportedly claimed he will not turn out for Newcastle again, though Toon boss Eddie Howe has left the door ajar for a comeback to his starting XI.

The Swede has been criticised by the club's supporters over his bid to engineer the move as they seemed to direct a chant of "there's only one greedy b******" at him during Saturday's stalemate at Villa Park.

And former Manchester United goalkeeper Foster believes Liverpool are partially responsible for the poisonous atmosphere.

Speaking on the Fozcast podcast, Foster claimed: "He has to go to Liverpool, because I think that's probably the only team that will have him now.

"Isak's going to be fuming as well, because guaranteed that somebody from Liverpool has got in touch with his agent and gone, 'We want you here, hand in a transfer request or kick up a fuss and we'll sign you.' But they still haven't signed him.

"I think he just needs to take accountability for it all and he needs to come out with a statement.
