Alan Shearer accepts there is a chance Alexander Isak could join Liverpool before the transfer deadline(Image: Serena Taylor, Newcastle United via Getty Images)

Alan Shearer has explained how he sees Alexander Isak joining Liverpool this summer, but suspects the striker has shot himself in the foot.

Shearer confessed he feels Isak might still secure his desired transfer, but only if Newcastle recruit replacements and Liverpool get nearer to their £150million valuation.

The former England skipper told Betfair: "My view is the same as it was three or four weeks ago.



If Newcastle can get players in to replace him, and if Newcastle receive a bid they want to accept, then it may happen.

"If that doesn't happen, then he stays, and it becomes really messy.

If Liverpool want him, then they put in an offer Newcastle will accept, and if Newcastle can get two players in, because that's what they need, one to replace Isak and one to replace [Callum] Wilson, then fine.

"They've been trying to do that for the past four or five weeks and haven't been able to.

The club stated: "We are disappointed to have been alerted to a social media post by Alexander Isak this evening.

"We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer.

We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views.

"As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into consideration the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and our supporters in all decisions and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired.
