Newcastle United now have NO intention of allowing Alexander Isak to leave in light of a bombshell statement in which he accused the club of ‘broken promises’.
The club have pursued alternatives all summer and, had they signed one of their top targets, they would have explored Isak’s sale to Liverpool, recognising his desire to move on.
However, the message from the top tonight is that Isak will be told he is staying at the club. The hierarchy believe they have now been left with no choice but to stand firm after the striker released his inflammatory statement.
