Alexander Isak's agent, Vlado Lemic, sent a cryptic message to talkSPORT after his client's move to Liverpool went through on deadline day.

The Swede completed a British record transfer to Anfield from Newcastle United, which talkSPORT understands to be worth £125million.

And after a summer in which Isak refused to train or play for Newcastle, Lemic sent some quotes to host Jim White.

He read them out live on-air during the White and Jordan show.

The message read: "It's nice when you have someone to be with, but it is even nicer when you know who you will never be with again."

Once the deal was confirmed, the Toon issued a 37-word statement about Isak, while the player hasn't said anything about Newcastle yet on social media.

He is now training with Sweden ahead of the September international break, where he is training with former teammates Emil Krafth and Anthony Elanga.

The only current Toon players to acknowledge Isak's move to Liverpool are Anthony Gordon and Sven Botman.

On an Instagram story, Gordon said: "Regardless of the situation and what's gone on.

The more people like that for me, the better."

Grimsby Town has been fined £20,000 for fielding an ineligible player against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup.

The English Football League (EFL) announced the punishment on Tuesday, stating the League Two outfit failed to register Clarke Oduor in time for their penalty shootout victory over the Red Devils in the second round.

Grimsby needed to submit Oduor’s registration before 12pm on the day of the fixture.

Instead, the documents were submitted just one minute after the deadline.

Luckily for the giant-killing side, the EFL determined the punishment would only be a £20,000 fine, half of which is suspended until the end of the season, rather than being tossed out of the competition entirely.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been called up to the England squad for the first time in almost SEVEN YEARS.

The 29-year-old has been drafted in from international exile by Thomas Tuchel to replace the injured Adam Wharton.

The AC Milan midfielder last featured in the England senior setup in November 2018, coming off the bench in a game against the USA.

He did earn a call-up under Gareth Southgate the following March, but withdrew and hasn't appeared for his country since.

Manchester City have revealed that Gianluigi Donnarumma will wear the number 99 shirt.

James Trafford inherited the number one jersey upon his arrival this summer, despite the Italian now coming in to replace him in goal.

Donnarumma has opted to take the number he wore at his boyhood club, AC Milan - representing his birth year of 1999.

He was banned from wearing the digits at Paris Saint-Germain owing to Ligue 1 rules that prohibit 'keepers from wearing such a number.

Numbers 1, 16 and 30 are reserved specifically for goalkeepers in France, with No.40 and 50 then taken if all three are filled.

Man City, meanwhile, have never had a registered senior men's player wear the number 99 shirt.

“I am joining a squad packed with world-class talent and a team led by the one of the greatest managers in the history of football in Pep Guardiola.

Playing at the Etihad Stadium will be very, very special for me.

“I am very excited for what lies ahead and can promise that I will give absolutely everything to try and help the Club achieve even more success.”

Jamie O'Hara was left outraged by Jason Cundy's claim that Alexander Isak leaves Newcastle as a club legend.

After a long and dramatic summer transfer saga, Isak has left the Magpies and completed a record £125million move to Liverpool.

Speaking on The Sports Bar for talkSPORT after the move, Cundy explained the situation that the Magpies are in now that he's left.

"The problem they've got now, Newcastle, is that he is plastered all over their greatest success in a generation," he said.

"He's very much part of that, so he is a Newcastle legend.

"Is he a legend?" O'Hara hit back, before Cundy insisted: "He is!"

But O'Hara wasn't having any of it and added: "Do me a favour, don't be calling him a legend, come on.

"If you think about Newcastle legends, you cannot put Alexander Isak there."

Cundy then replied: "Alexander Isak is a Newcastle legend for what he helped them achieve."

The 32-year-old won six Premier League titles and the Champions League over an eight-year spell at the Etihad.

Donnarumma's transfer is yet to be officially confirmed, despite the window closing at 7pm on Monday.

Reflecting on his City career, Ederson said: “I leave Manchester City incredibly proud of what we have achieved together, and I am honoured to have worn the shirt so many times.

Once a Blue, always a Blue.”
