Alexander Isak has been told to train away from his Newcastle teammates amid intense speculation over his future, talkSPORT understands.

The Swede was the subject of a £110million offer from Premier League champions Liverpool last week, one that was rejected by the Magpies.

Isak had missed the club’s pre-season tour due to speculation, and resumed training in Spain, using the facilities of former club Real Sociedad.

However, with Newcastle standing firm, he returned to training, only to now be told to work separately from his teammates.

It is understood to have been Eddie Howe's decision.

There have been twists and turns since Liverpool’s rejected offer, with Howe’s side looking for reinforcements up front, submitting a £69.4m bid for Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.

The Slovenian is understood to prefer Premier League rivals Manchester United as his next club, meaning Newcastle will be less inclined to let Isak go.

Yet the Reds are set to cash in on Darwin Nunez, and a payday from Al Hilal could give them the necessary cash for another Isak bid.
