A team-mate of Alexander Isak was once left stunned on live radio after being informed of the striker's impending exit.

The Liverpool target, who is no stranger to transfer sagas, has broken his silence amid efforts to engineer a move away from Newcastle, accusing the club of breaking promises in an extensive social media statement.

Newcastle quickly responded, expressing disappointment at Isak's message but leaving the door open for the 25-year-old to return to the fold, despite his desire to join the Reds.



Isak became a hero on Tyneside, helping propel the club into the Champions League and securing Carabao Cup glory at the Reds' expense last season.
