Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has been told he cannot leave the club for Liverpool this summer, while Anfield is now the most likely destination for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi.

Despite the stand-off between club and player, the report says that the Sweden international must stay at St James' Park "in a show of defiance from the club's Saudi owners." However, Isak is, for now at least, refusing to accept that stance.

- Liverpool are now the clear favourites to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi, reports the Daily Telegraph.



The deal still remains someway off being finalized, however, as Milan are holding out for a €40 million fee, and won't sanction the Germany international exit until a replacement is signed first.

Should the deal be completed, Thiaw is expected to sign a contract on Tyneside until at least 2029.

The report adds that the Bees will look to sign Dango Ouattara from AFC Bournemouth as Wissa's replacement.
