Alexander Isak has been linked to Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea but who is the 13/8 favourite to land the Newcastle star?
The Swedish international scored 27 times in 42 games across all competitions last season, including 23 for Newcastle in the Premier League in just 34 outings under Eddie Howe.
The 25-year-old was also a crucial cog of the Magpies machine that went all the way in the Carabao Cup to bring silverware back to Newcastle at long last.
As a result of his stunning performances as arguably the best striker in the league - out-scoring Manchester City's Erling Haaland by a goal last term - he has been linked with a number of leading teams.
Manchester United are currently priced at a very long 40/1, perhaps indicative of their malaise, and their financial situation, particularly having already spent over £60million on Matheus Cunha.
Chelsea and European champions Paris Saint-Germain are the next least-likely sides to land Isak this summer according to Sky Bet, with odds of 25/1.
Next up are Real Madrid, who have already added Trent Alexander-Arnold to their ranks from the Premier League this summer, though they aren't considered among the favourites at 22/1.
Barcelona are the third-most likely side to snap up the Swedish international's services, with the Spanish champions priced at 9/1.
Arsenal and Liverpool have been perhaps strongest-linked with the No 9, with both in the hunt for a goal-scorer to fortify their already strong attacking lines.
But it is the current Premier League champions who are considered the favourites to sign Isak at 13/8, with Arsenal second with odds of 13/2.
Sky Bet odds for clubs to sign Alexander Isak by September 2:
Liverpool 13/8
Arsenal 13/2
Barcelona 9/1
Real Madrid 22/1
Paris Saint-Germain 25/1
Chelsea 25/1
Manchester United 40/1

Northern Ireland teen handed dream chance to follow Conor Bradley's lead as he inks Liverpool scholarship deal
The teenage defender is one of several Academy players handed contracts by the club. Every year, Liverpool finalise a fresh intake of first-year scholars as young players step up from the Under-16s to Under-18s football. Moran has been part of the Northern Ireland Under-17 squad, working under the Irish FA's Director of Elite Player Development Andy Waterworth along with Kris Lindsay and Gareth McAuley. He will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Northern Ireland international Conor Bradley, who agreed a four-year deal keeping him at the Premier League winners until the summer of 2029. Bradley came through the ranks at Liverpool after joining from Dungannon Swifts in 2019. Moran was handed his scholarship deal alongside several other Liverpool young guns, with Anfield legend Kenny Dalglish and head coach Arne Slot present.
