Alexander Isak’s potential transfer to Liverpool feels like it’s dragged on for far too long now.

However, due to Newcastle not being able to find a replacement and Liverpool not wanting to fork out the Magpies’ asking price for their star man, negotiations have hit a stalemate.

Indeed, Isak did release a statement saying that promises were broken, but that hasn’t stopped Newcastle from saying that he can eventually be reintegrated into their first-team squad if he wishes.

However, it feels like things have gone far past that now, with Eddie Howe likely waiting for Liverpool to up their offer or to even find a replacement striker for the former Real Sociedad man.

Seeing as though Newcastle need two new strikers this summer, should Isak end up leaving, they’ve been on the hunt for their Callum Wilson replacement as well as a potential replacement for the towering Swede.

And, Brentford’s Yoanne Wissa is the man they’ve wanted from the start; however, since the Bees have already sold Bryan Mbuemo this summer, they would rather keep hold of Wissa.

Newcastle have made multiple bids for the attacker, but since the negotiations have dragged out for so long and Eberechi Eze is now going to Arsenal, Thomas Frank’s Tottenham have entered the race for the attacker.

“Yoane Wissa has repeatedly told Brentford hierarchy he only wants the Newcastle United move,” he wrote.

“The fact that Newcastle has a rich history with French African players (Demba Ba, Papiss Cisse, Hatem Ben Arfa) is a big draw for Wissa.

“I’m told the striker has his eyes set on the no.9 shirt at Newcastle.

“Newcastle had a £40m offer turned down today and now there’s interest from Spurs.”

Although this latest news to emerge about Wissa has added yet another roadblock in the way of Liverpool’s dream transfer of Isak, it’s about time that the Reds start to face facts.

Ever since the start of the summer transfer window, Isak has been Liverpool’s dream target, and, although they may have made a £110million bid for him, they either need to put more money up or turn their attention elsewhere.
