Sky Sports News reporter Keith Downie answers the key questions around Alexander Isaks Newcastle future, the clubs frustrating summer transfer window so far after missing out on several targets and where they need to strengthen,

Newcastle United's squad are set to become unhappy while Eddie Howe's men continue to negotiate a new deal with Alexander Isak.

Al Hilal are reported to have “explored” the possibility of signing Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak. It comes at the same time as an explosion in speculation about his future after appearing to train away from the rest of the Magpies squad this week.

Liverpool’s interest in Isak is longstanding, and with Hugo Ekitike arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt for £69 million, it might appear that the Reds are done for this window. But sources close to the club suggest Isak remains firmly on their radar.

Nolan insists Brentford striker Yoane Wissa would not be an adequate replacement for the Swede after Newcastle had a £25m offer rejected on Monday. "If you got the majority of Newcastle fans on, they'd be saying we want to keep Isak, we need to pay him the money," he told talkSPORT.

Following Callum Wilson’s exit and the failure to sign Joao Pedro or Hugo Ekitike, Newcastle have been left alarmingly short up top. Remove Isak and they appear toothless, which is unnerving given his durability will be tested across 2025-26 with the additional demands of Champions League football.

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak was spotted training alone today amid reports he has picked up a minor injury as rumours continue to swirl surrounding his future. Al Hilal and Liverpool are both thought to be interested in the Swede’s services this summer, despite Newcastle’s insistence that the striker is not for sale.
