The striker was left out of the Magpies’ squad for their pre-season tour of the Far East as speculation about his future continues.

Newcastle put his absence down to a minor thigh injury, having also been left out of their squad for their pre-season friendly away at Celtic.



However, Isak has told the Magpies that he would like to explore a move away from the club.
