Sports presenter and Arsenal fan Laura Woods has slammed Liverpool transfer target Alexander Isak for trying to force his way out of Newcastle United this summer.
So far, Isak and Newcastle have been in a stand-off with the player wanting to leave and the club determined not to let him do so.
The player has sat out the opening two Premier League fixtures of the season against Aston Villa and Liverpool and isn't expected to face Leeds United at the weekend.
The Swede — who has been named in his country's squad for upcoming games against Slovenia and Kosovo — has been training alone and hasn't been involved for Newcastle since the end of last season.
"Based on what we saw from Newcastle on Monday night and the fight they showed with 10 men, I find a player (Isak) who has basically removed themselves from the situation pretty low," Woods told BetMGM.

If he goes to Liverpool then great, but if we don’t see him in the Premier League again, I’m not that bothered either.
"I think he’s really tarnishing his reputation not just for the Newcastle supporters but for other fanbases too.
OK, he got sent off for a silly challenge, but that effort is what Newcastle need and their supporters crave."
Isak has scored 54 goals in 86 Premier League appearances for Newcastle
