Newcastle could lose Alexander Isak this summer with the striker eyeing up other options - just 12 months after the Swedish forward saw a contract promise broken

Just how good is Alexander Isak? Can the Magpies compete on all fronts without him? Would paying the Swede upset the Newcastle project?

Newcastle United has struggled to land its top targets this summer and could now lose Alexander Isak to a Premier League rival.

Eddie Howe admits that Newcastle United’s board “have a decision to make” when it comes to Alexander Isak’s future, but insists that whatever the outcome it must be in the best interests of the club.

There’s reason for hope, though. “Newcastle are targeting RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, who has been linked with several European clubs this summer,” suggests the club has its eyes on top-tier talent. Sesko is dynamic, raw, and full of upside. If paired with a player like Larsen, the duo could even rival Isak’s individual impact.

Newcastle duo Bruno Guimaraes and Dan Burn say they hope “top striker” Alexander Isak will remain at the club.Isak wants to explore his options this summer, with Liverpool among those interested

Newcastle are exploring a move for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko in case Alexander Isak departs this summer.

According to reports, Newcastle United star Alexander Isak has ‘set a condition’ for him to ‘accept an offer’ amid interest from Liverpool. Earlier this week, Liverpool‘s chances of signing Isak improved as the striker informed Newcastle of his intention to ‘explore’ a move elsewhere this summer.
