Alexander Isak 'on strike' as Newcastle has new scenario for Liverpool sale
Alexander Isak is reportedly on strike as he looks to force a summer transfer to Liverpool, and Newcastle United is weighing up a fresh scenario before the new Premier League season starts. Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe is keeping Isak away from the rest of the squad due to his conduct, and recently admitted that the transfer saga hasn't been healthy for the club. Liverpool bid $148 million for Isak earlier this summer and is waiting to see if Newcastle will entertain a sale before submitting a new offer. While Newcastle does not wish to sell its prized asset, who is contracted through 2028, Isak has made it clear that he doesn't want to play for the club again. According to the Daily Mail, Newcastle may be forced to play Anthony Gordon at center-forward until January, and Isak may be sold if Yoane Wissa joins the club from Brentford. READ MORE: Alexander Isak could be given transfer lifeline thanks to PSG READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Giovanni Leoni deal confirmed, Guehi 'staying', Isak latest Isak is one of the best strikers in the world, and Newcastle is under no contractual pressure to sell. However, his conduct means that he is a depreciating asset, and while Newcastle has the wealthiest owners in the Premier League, maximum value is essential when considering profit and sustainability rules. However, Newcastle needs to sign a replacement before selling Isak, and Howe is keen to add two strikers to the roster. Newcastle released veteran forward Callum Wilson this summer and has struggled to sign a center-forward after missing out on Hugo Ekitike, Liam Delap, and Benjamin Sesko. Newcastle must sign at least one striker before allowing Isak to leave, and Wissa is the priority. Howe plans to play Wissa and Gordon in the attack and integrate new signing, Anthony Elanga. Newcastle has also reached an agreement with Aston Villa for attacking midfielder Jacob Ramsey, and the club will now focus on a deal for Wissa. Brentford manager Keith Andrews has confirmed that Wissa will miss the season opener against Nottingham Forest on Sunday due to transfer interest. Brentford is demanding $54 million for the 28-year-old, who scored 19 Premier League goals last season. Discussions are ongoing, but Howe is keen to lift the mood at Newcastle following Isak's removal. "I don't think it's been healthy for us," Howe said to the BBC. "I don't deny that's been a big challenge. Alex, for me, is one of the best strikers in the world - if not the best. To miss him from your squad leaves a huge gap." "I think morale was certainly affected early on during pre-season," he added. "There was nothing I could do to affect that - it was always going to be there. "When you have a player that good who is not part of your group, it's difficult for the players to fully understand it and to know what's going on and how to react. But, as time has gone on, there has been an acceptance this is the squad and we have got to make the best of the situation. "That's always been my train of thought. Whatever situation you're in, you have got to find a way, and you can only control what you can control. We have moved forward, and I've got to say the atmosphere of the group has been very good in the last couple of weeks." Howe also said he was happy with the squad, but admitted that there was room for improvement. "I'm still hoping for more (signings). I think we need more. We have got some big gaps within the squad still."

Premier League chief Richard Masters urges ‘patience' on Manchester City charges case
Premier League CEO Richard Masters refused to be drawn on questions surrounding the apparent delay to the league's ongoing legal case against Manchester City. City were charged with 115 breaches of Premier League regulations in February 2023, with the formal hearing concluding on December 6 last year. Over eight months later, the independent three-person panel has not released any decision. Advertisement Asked at a media event on the eve of the Premier League season whether he was disappointed with the length of the process, Masters replied: 'I really can't comment and there are very good reasons for that. As you know, our rules are very clear. 'I can't talk about the process in any aspect between the period when allegations and charges are announced until a decision is handed down, and it would be wrong for me to speculate about when or whether there are any frustrations in the system.' Two weeks ago, the Premier League's handbook was updated to include a clause that all judicial panel members would be required to devote 'sufficient time, diligence and industry to ensure the expeditious and efficient conduct of the arbitration'. Later, Masters added: 'This is an independent panel independently selected. And they're in charge of the case. They're in charge of the process and the timings. We have no influence over that. So we have to be patient and wait for these things to happen. 'Our rules state when a decision is handed down at some point, it will be made public. And I'm sure that's going to be the case here.' The executive insisted that this update did not reflect the length of the case against City, which is commonly regarded as the most complex and hotly-fought in Premier League history. 'At all times, (and) it's got nothing to do with any particular case going on, it's just about improving the efficiency of our judicial system,' he said. 'As you know, we constantly bend the rulebook to try and make it more efficient whilst preserving all of the things you need in a properly functioning system.' This has been a testing process for Masters, with Premier League clubs seemingly at loggerheads over the process, a feeling of discord heightened by several high-profile battles over updates to the league's profitability and sustainability (PSR) and associated party transaction (APT) regulations. Masters batted away questions over whether a negative outcome for the Premier League would lead to his resignation. 'You're asking me to speculate on the outcome of the case,' he said. 'I'm not going to do it. That's all I can say.' Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms Play today's puzzle
