Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe has issued a strong stance on Alexander Isak as the Sweden star's summer transfer saga drags on. Crucially, Howe confirmed to Chronicle Live that there had still not been a formal offer from Liverpool but the player remains back in the UK.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Craig Hope has shared a detailed explanation of Isak’s stance, and he says Newcastle did something last year that left the striker absolutely furious. Hope spoke about Isak’s situation at Newcastle, claiming that he was very angry last year over his contract situation.

Liverpool have previously communicated their interest in Isak and over doing a deal in the region of £120million.
