Newcastle may have dropped its biggest hint yet over Alexander Isak’s future - and it’s good news for Liverpool.

The striker continues to be heavily linked with a move to Anfield this summer, with speculation going into overdrive over the past week or so after he told his current club he wants to leave.

Liverpool had made an approach to Newcastle earlier in the month before turning its attention to Hugo Ekitike, having been met with a firm response by the Magpies.

What’s more, Isak is said to have already agreed personal terms with Liverpool, with Sky Sports Switzerland claiming talks will begin between the two clubs soon as a bid is planned.

Isak absence from the kit launch, despite his apparent attendance for the photoshoot, will add more fuel to the fire surrounding his future in the north-east.
