Alexander Isak: 'When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue'
ALEXANDER ISAK HAS has said 'when promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue' as he continues to seek a move away from Newcastle. The Sweden striker, who has been the subject of a rejected bid from Liverpool, was not involved in Newcastle's Premier League opener on Saturday as they failed to score in a goalless draw at Aston Villa, having been training alone after refusing to play in some pre-season matches. On Tuesday the 25-year-old, who scored 27 goals in 42 games for the Magpies last season, was named in the PFA Premier League team of the season and used a social media post expressing his gratitude to address his situation. 'I've kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken,' Isak wrote. 'That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn't reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors. Advertisement 'The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To act now as if these issues are only emerging is misleading. 'When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue. That's where things are for me right now – and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself.'

Mohamed Salah and Mariona Caldentey named PFA Players of Year
LIVERPOOL STAR MOHAMED Salah has won a record third Professional Footballers' Association Men's Player of the Year award, with Arsenal's Mariona Caldentey collecting the women's accolade. The 33-year-old Egypt international scored 29 goals and provided 18 assists as Arne Slot's Reds stormed to last season's Premier League title. Salah's stunning form in 2024/25 saw him dominate the voting by the PFA's membership and enter the history books as the first three-time Player of the Year winner. The PFA crown complements the record-equalling third Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award picked up earlier in the year. PFA Women's Player of the Year Caldentey, 29, moved to Arsenal last summer and scored 19 goals in all competitions, including eight on the Gunners' way to lifting the Champions League with a victory in the final against her former club Barcelona.

Morgan Rogers has scooped the PFA Men's Young Player of the Year award following a brilliant campaign that saw the Aston Villa attacking midfielder make his England breakthrough. Salah is joined in the 2024/25 PFA Premier League Team of the Year by Liverpool team-mates Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister. Milos Kerkez, who moved to Anfield from Bournemouth in the summer, is also selected, as are the Arsenal trio of William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Declan Rice. Matz Sels and Chris Wood are recognised for their fine campaigns at Nottingham Forest, while unsettled striker Alexander Isak has been included in recognition of his excellent form at Newcastle last term. Chelsea's Cole Palmer and Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes missed out on the XI despite being shortlisted for the Player of the Year award. Mohamed Salah is the PFA Players' Player of Year. 🏆#PFAawards — PFA (@PFA) August 19, 2025 The PFA Women's Super League Team of the Year side includes two players from champions Chelsea, Erin Cuthbert and Millie Bright. Arsenal quartet Caldentey, Alessia Russo, Emily Fox and Kim Little are selected, as are Manchester City pair Yui Hasegawa and Mary Fowler and the Manchester United trio of Phallon Tullis-Joyce, Maya Le Tissier and Jayde Riviere. James Trafford, now of Manchester City, has become the first goalkeeper to be named Championship Player of the Year following his brilliant performances between the sticks during Burnley's promotion campaign. Richard Kone's 21-goal haul for Wycombe in his first full season at professional level saw the 22-year-old, who last week signed for QPR, named League One Player of the Year. Bromley striker Michael Cheek's impressive first season in the EFL, in which he scored 25 league goals for the promoted side, saw him awarded the League Two Player of the Year trophy.
