Newcastle United are reportedly taking a hardline stance regarding Alexander Isak and will tell the Swede to return to training soon.

Reports from San Sebastian on Wednesday night asserted that the Liverpool target was spotted training in Zubieta, a small town in the Basque region.

Now Lee Ryder of the Chronicle as reported that the Magpies will tell Isak to report back to training before their Espanyol friendly (Friday, August 8) and Atletico Madrid friendly (August 9):

“The expectation from within is that Alexander Isak will be told to report back to training and play in either the Espanyol game or clash with Atletico Madrid.”

“But Newcastle are still very much active in their attempts to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford – although the DR Congo man’s fight to leave lies in Brentford’s hands.”

He added that Newcastle are “angry” that they are sitting around waiting for Liverpool to drum up the funds for their star man with player sales of their own:

“Newcastle chiefs are angry at the prospect of waiting around for Liverpool to drum up the funds to sign their star man?

Darwin Núñez and Luis Diaz are up for sale and the Reds would use that money to bid for Isak.”
