“The way he’s playing his cards at the minute, the Newcastle fans are not going to back him, he’s not going to help himself,” Carroll said.

“Which is a shame really because he’s such a good player and every Newcastle fan wants him to stay, the manager wants him to stay, and it’s just a shame really that’s how he’s acting.”

One of the main things that could affect Liverpool’s chances of winning all the trophies possible this season is how long it could take for their squad to gel.

It’s clear that with Liverpool only having four senior attackers available to them, one or two new forwards still need to be brought in.

As mentioned, Isak has been heavily linked with a Liverpool transfer, but at the moment, it’s anyone’s guess what could happen.
