Injury fear used as reason for Alexander Isak to push for £110m Liverpool transfer – with former Reds forward claiming Newcastle sale is in ‘everybody’s best interest’

Former Liverpool star Jermaine Pennant has thrown down the gauntlet to Newcastle United, sell Alexander Isak to Liverpool for £110 million ($148m) or risk a season of drama and disappointment. Pennant believes the Magpies are playing with fire by holding on to an unsettled striker, insisting a quick sale would end the saga and give Eddie Howe the funds to rebuild before the new campaign kicks off.

'I want players who really want to play for this club' – Eddie Howe suggests Alexander Isak WILL be allowed to leave amid Liverpool transfer saga

Eddie Howe provided an update on Alexander Isak's future at St James' Park as he hinted that Newcastle United could allow the striker to leave this summer, amid strong interest from Liverpool. Isak has been training alone and was even left out of a club event earlier this week after he strongly expressed his desire to leave the Magpies and secure a transfer to Anfield.
