Unexpected events are unfolding around one of the brightest strikers of recent years in the English Premier League, Alexander Isak. The Swedish footballer, known as the main goalscorer of Newcastle United, is currently caught in a complex and controversial process. According to the team’s head coach Eddie Howe, due to Isak’s active negotiations with Liverpool, he will miss the team’s first official matches. This news has sparked serious discussion among the club’s fans.
— We have thoroughly discussed Alexander Isak’s situation with the coaching staff, — says Eddie Howe. — In the current circumstances, it is not possible to include him in the squad’s general training sessions. I cannot say exactly how long this will last. Our negotiations must remain closed for now, but I will say one thing openly: at the moment we cannot fully involve him in the work process.
According to the coach, he sincerely wants Isak to return to the pitch and take part in training as soon as possible. — If it were up to me, Alex would play today and rejoin training tomorrow. He is one of our key players, and having him in the squad brings us great joy, — Howe said.
At the same time, the experienced specialist expressed hope that the situation will be resolved before the first official match against Aston Villa, but he is not very confident that circumstances will change. — Right now we are temporarily losing one of the most important parts of the team, and naturally, that makes me angry, — he added.
It should be recalled that earlier there were reports in the press that Alexander Isak was trying to move to Liverpool. However, Newcastle’s management decided not to let him go and rejected an offer of £111 million from the English champions. This has only increased the interest surrounding the transfer.
These disagreements and uncertainties on the eve of the new season could become a serious test for Newcastle. Fans are eagerly waiting to see when and how Isak’s fate will be decided.
