Alexander Isak's agent has finally addressed the transfer rumours linking the Newcastle forward with a move to Liverpool.

The Reds were said to have been prepared to fork out £120million on the Swedish striker.

But Newcastle have stood firm on their stance that Isak is not for sale, leading Liverpool to shift their focus towards Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike in the form of a £70m bid.

Now, Isak's representative Gonzalo Gaitan has opened up about the situation to Saudi Arabian newspaper Arriyadiyah, with Isak also having been linked to Saudi Pro League sides.

Gaitan said: "We are indeed studying and analysing all options, and we may be close to finalising the next step for the player.

Meanwhile, Magpies head coach Eddie Howe revealed that Isak was sent back from Newcastle's pre-season defeat to Celtic on Saturday due to the ongoing transfer talk.

Howe continued: "It's difficult for me to give 100 per cent clarity on any player.
