Alexander Isak finally got his dream move after a £125million fee was agreed for his transfer by Liverpool and Newcastle.
Despite the Magpies wanting him to stick around and lead them through their 2025-26 Champions League campaign, he decided that his career would be best served elsewhere.
Indeed, Hugo Ekitike was also brought in this summer, and due to the solid form he’s found himself in at the start of the 2025-26 Premier League campaign, it’ll likely be hard for Isak to take his place straight away.
As mentioned, Isak’s transfer saga has dominated most of the headlines this summer.
The fact that he refused to train or even play for Newcastle this summer shows how serious he was about forcing his way out of St James’ Park this term.

And, while live on talkSPORT, Jamie O’Hara and Jason Cundy were discussing Isak’s transfer, with O’Hara being left rather perplexed by a claim that Cundy made.
“If the first time that they’ve won a trophy is it since 1959 or 1969, whatever it is, and he [Isak] is absolutely integral to win that trophy, [he’s a] legend,” Cundy said.
“Let me ask you this, out of this team, who is a Newcastle legend?
I guarantee he won’t be bigger than Isak [to help win the Carabao Cup.]
Jamie O’Hara then replied with: “Bruno Guimaraes.” Cundy instantly hit back with “Not bigger than Isak.”
This then left O’Hara stunned as he simply replied: “What, you’re winding me up!”
Even though the way that Isak left Newcastle wasn’t the most admirable, that doesn’t mean that he shouldn’t be able to explore the opportunity of a transfer.
If Isak had left Newcastle without kicking up as much of a fuss, there’s no denying that most of the Magpies’ fanbase would see him as a legend.
