The Alexander Isak transfer saga continues with less than two weeks before the start of the new Premier League season. Newcastle United rejected a bid from Liverpool to sign Isak this summer, but the Reds are expected to bid again.

Alexander Isak is due at Newcastle United’s training ground later today after missing first-team training this morning. After sitting out of the club’s pre-season tour of Asia, Isak flew to Spain to train at former club Real Sociedad last week - something head coach Eddie Howe learned through the media - before returning to Tyneside on Saturday.

Newcastle United is already preparing for a significant move in their forward line ahead of the next season. With the potential departure of Alexander Isak on the horizon, led by Eddie Howe, the team is exploring alternatives in the market, and one of the names that has gained strength in the past hours is Nicolas Jackson, a forward from Chelsea.
