The future of Alexander Isak continues to make headlines, and his latest visit to Newcastle’s training ground has only added more fuel to the fire.

The Swedish striker, heavily linked with a move to Liverpool, was spotted at the club’s facility on Monday — but not for transfer talks.

While Liverpool fans were hopeful the visit meant a deal was close, the real reason was a bit less dramatic.

Isak was there for treatment on a thigh issue that’s kept him out of Newcastle’s pre-season tour.

He trained alone recently in Spain and reportedly handed in a transfer request.

That doesn’t scream “happy to stay.”

And if you’re a Liverpool fan, you’ll be hoping this race ends with a Swedish striker walking into Melwood.
