What we're hearing before transfer deadline day: Liverpool to return for Isak? Who will leave Man United?

Below is a summary of the full article. Click here for the full version or go back to LFC Live.net.

After their opening offer of £110 million was emphatically rejected earlier this month, the Premier League champions maintained a respectful distance to allow for Newcastle United to resolve their striker situation.

Now, with Eddie Howe's side set to sign Nick Woltemade from VfB Stuttgart, the dominos could start to fall and allow for Isak to seal his move to Anfield, providing Liverpool return with an improved bid.

As far as Guéhi is concerned, talks with Crystal Palace have been ongoing for weeks and, with the FA Cup winners having qualified for the UEFA Conference League on Thursday night, proceedings could start to accelerate in the coming hours over a deal in the region of £35m.

What can Newcastle expect from Nick Woltemade?

Archie Rhind-Tutt explains what Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade could provide Newcastle amid links to the Premier League side.

Will Newcastle keep Isak and what can they do before the end of the window either way?

That's the big question and only Newcastle's Saudi owners truly know the answer.

Don't forget that Newcastle let Callum Wilson leave as a free agent in the summer, so their attacking options were already in need of reinforcement before the Isak situation became the saga of the transfer window.

If Woltemade signs and deals can be done to sign Brentford's Yoane Wissa or Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen over the weekend, then that would open the door for Isak to leave -- but Liverpool would also have to meet Newcastle's valuation.

What signings do Manchester United need before the transfer deadline?

Ian Darke and Rob Dawson believe Manchester United still need to sign at least two players as the end of the summer transfer window approaches.

Chelsea also need to move players on before they can sign anyone, right?

If they want to register them for the Champions League, yes.

As per the terms of their UEFA punishment, Chelsea need a net positive transfer balance relating to the squad selected for last season's Conference League if they want all their new signings to play in Europe this year.

4, anything major going on?

WSL champions Chelsea have been hoping to bring in a winger for some time but, after a productive window, they are content with where the squad is at.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are hoping to sign two forwards before the window shuts.
