Newcastle United's forwards Allan Saint-Maximin, Alexander Isak, and Joe Willock are all expected to remain at the club despite recent speculation linking Isak with a move to Liverpool. The article explains that while Liverpool's interest in Isak adds drama, the Swedish striker is likely to stay put at Newcastle for the immediate future.

Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy believes Liverpool can win the Premier League without signing Isak, though the player's addition would certainly improve their attacking options. Murphy emphasizes that Liverpool has already lost three attacking players and only signed two new ones this summer, so bringing in another forward like Isak would enhance their squad depth. However, he still thinks Liverpool are strong enough to defend their title without him.

The relationship between Isak and Newcastle has been tense publicly after Isak shared a statement on social media about "broken promises" and his desire to leave. Newcastle swiftly denied making any promises regarding his transfer and reiterated that he is not for sale. This public back-and-forth has reportedly caused divisions within the Newcastle dressing room, though the club maintains a diplomatic stance, asserting Isak will be welcomed back should he remain.

Despite the ongoing transfer saga, Isak has all the qualities that would make him an excellent player for a club like Liverpool, according to Murphy, who also predicted that if Isak stays, he would be compelled to continue playing professionally for Newcastle.
