If Eddie Howe knows where Alexander Isak will be plying his trade after Monday’s transfer deadline, then he’s not letting on.

The Newcastle boss was asked about his missing star striker after the Toon’s goalless draw at Leeds on Saturday evening.

And, amid mounting speculation that the Premier League champions, Liverpool, will finally follow up their rejected £110million offer earlier this month with a second bid, Toon chief Howe gave a brief update when asked - but gave absolutely nothing away.



He said: "I don't know, I'm not party to any talks going on.

Isak remains steadfast in his desire to leave St James’ Park for Anfield, having cited “broken promises” behind his desire to leave.

This week, co-owner Jamie Reuben and a representative of Newcastle’s majority shareholders, Saudi Arabia's Private Investment Fund, met with Isak and his entourage in a bid to build bridges, as they seek to reintegrate him back into the fold.

They are also looking to land Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen before Monday’s 7pm deadline, but Wolves insist the Norwegian - who missed Saturday’s defeat to Everton - is going nowhere.

The Magpies are still chasing their first win of the season – they also drew 0-0 at Aston Villa on the opening weekend and lost 3-2 at home to Liverpool on Monday – after a disappointing stalemate at Elland Road.

But Howe, delighted by his players’ collective resolve, said: “All three performances – the big thing shining through it is the players are giving everything.

That’s the big challenge ahead.”

Isak has been reported by Swedish media to have said his goodbyes to team-mates at the club’s training ground.
