Newcastle fans send message to Alexander Isak ahead of Liverpool showdown at St James' Park after star went on strike to force move to Premier League champions

Newcastle fans sent a message to Alexander Isak by unfurling a banner aimed at the wantaway striker before kick-off in their clash with Liverpool.

Isak has gone on strike at Newcastle in an attempt to force a move to Arne Slot's side, who had a bid of £110million for the Swedish star rejected earlier this summer.

The 25-year-old was again absent from the squad for the eagerly anticipated clash with Liverpool at St James' Park.

Newcastle supporters inside the stadium revealed a banner ahead of kick-off which appeared to be directed at Isak, who has not trained with the squad or played for Eddie Howe's side so far this season.
