Newcastle release 'salty' 37-word statement to announce Alexander Isak's exit - as fans tear into new Liverpool star after record departure

Newcastle United did not even thank Alexander Isak for his services after he signed for Liverpool for a British record fee.

The Magpies made no mention of his Carabao Cup final heroics or his goals as they dedicated a mere 37 words to his departure.

Isak, 25, wrapped up the transfer saga of the summer on Monday as he signed for Liverpool for £125million on a long-term deal.

On the same night, Newcastle fans welcomed new striker Yoane Wissa with open arms - somewhat ironically after he treated Brentford in a similar fashion to Isak's behaviour.
