Alexander Isak’s potential transfer to Liverpool has dominated headlines over the last couple of days.

As mentioned, one of the main reasons that a transfer for Isak hasn’t been sanctioned yet is that Eddie Howe hasn’t found a suitable replacement for his star man.

Without Isak last season, the Magpies would’ve likely missed out on Champions League football and perhaps not have even won the Carabao Cup.

That is, if Isak is sold to Liverpool, of course.

“Ouattara to sign at Brentford in next 24h, Wissa not even with the squad this weekend as he only wants to leave.

“Clear priority to Newcastle United.”

On the face of things, it’s clear that Newcastle still need another striker to replace both Isak and Calum Wilson.

However, with the amount of carnage that has been caused by the Isak transfer saga, Newcastle may end up cutting their losses and end up selling him to the Reds, as it’s been made more than clear that’s where he wants to be.
