Eddie Howe has been 'let down' by Newcastle amid Alexander Isak transfer saga
Former Liverpool star Stewart Downing believes Eddie Howe has been let down by Newcastle as the saga surrounding striker Alexander Isak continues. The Magpies opened their Premier League campaign last weekend against Aston Villa without their star striker, with Isak's camp having told Newcastle the Swedish forward has no intention of playing for the team ever again. Liverpool has made a bid for Isak this summer, offering £110 million ($149 million). However, the Magpies are adamant that they will not sell the striker for anything less than £150 million ($204 million), a figure Reds legend Jamie Carragher believes the club should not spend. READ MORE: Newcastle in danger of transfer backlash over Alexander Isak as Liverpool waits READ MORE: Liverpool to make more than $270M in player sales this summer - and counting Without Isak, Newcastle started the new season by fielding Anthony Gordon up front, flanked by Harvey Barnes on the left and new signing Anthony Elanga on the right. While the game against Villa finished 0-0, there were promising signs from Howe's side on the pitch, which was a surprise to some, given how much the talk around Isak has dominated the headlines this summer. Newcastle is trying to bring in Brentford's Yoane Wissa but has been unable to strike a deal with the Bees. The 28-year-old did not feature in Brentford's 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest and looks set to leave the club this summer. However, even if Newcastle do land Wissa, there is no guarantee they will sell Isak to Liverpool. They let Callum Wilson leave on a free this summer, meaning they need to land another forward should they begin to entertain notions of selling the Swede. Finding a striker to come in to replace Isak has been tough work for Newcastle, who held an interest in Joao Pedro, Liam Delap and Benjamin Sesko, only for the former two to choose to sign for Chelsea, while the latter spurned the Magpies advances to join Manchester United. And speaking to Flashscore, former Liverpool winger Downing believes boss Howe has been let down by the club's inability to find a replacement for its star man, forcing him to operate with his hands tied. "I was excited about Newcastle United," Stewart Downing said via Flashscore. "I thought they've got a bit of money with some big backing, but they've had a bit of a terrible transfer window really even before the Alexander Isak saga rumbling on. "That's not helped them at all. I'd have to probably rule them out. Eddie Howe had the England thing lingering around him, but he's carried on at Newcastle and I think he's been let down a bit, to be honest. "I think everyone knew at the start of the window that he's definitely going to Liverpool. It's probably gone on too long. I can understand why they're dragging it out. "They want top money for him because he's a big part of how they play, but how are they going to replace him? "It's great for Liverpool if they sign him, and that makes them even stronger, but it'll weaken Newcastle so much so I can understand Eddie Howe's frustrations. "If they sell Isak, they haven't got anyone they can go to and replace him with of that quality."

Marc Guehi eligibility status for Champions League if he plays for Crystal Palace in Europe
Marc Guehi would be allowed to feature for Liverpool in the Champions League even if he plays a part as Crystal Palace begins its Europa Conference League campaign. Despite the signing of Giovanni Leoni, Liverpool remains in the market for a central defender. Guehi has emerged as a key target, and discussions regarding a potential move are ongoing. On Thursday, Palace will face Fredrikstad in the club's first European fixture since 1998. Palace chairman Steve Parish is keen to retain his key players until after the commencement of the club's Conference League journey, with Guehi and Eberechi Eze linked with moves elsewhere. READ MORE: Darwin Nunez shows his true colors after Liverpool transfer exit to Saudi Arabia READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Alexander Isak deadline, Ibrahima Konate talks, Marc Guehi latest Parish has earned a reputation as a tough negotiator, meaning any deals will have to be agreed upon on Palace's terms. After playing in the draw with Chelsea at Selhurst Park, Guehi's future could be determined in the final days of the transfer window, and after the Palace captain has played for the Eagles in Europe. From a Liverpool point of view, this could lead to concerns that Guehi may then be cup-tied for the Champions League should he move to Anfield. Appearing on 'BBC Match of the Day 2' on Sunday, host Gabby Logan confirmed that if Guehi plays midweek, he would not be ruled out of further involvement in a different European competition. 'They [Guehi and Eberechi Eze] can play on Thursday actually and then not be tied in other European competitions, should they go somewhere that wears red that plays perhaps in a different European competition,' said Logan. Palace, armed with Guehi and Eze, faces Fredrikstad in a two-legged qualifier, with the first match at Selhurst Park on Thursday. The second leg takes place in Norway on Aug. 28. Palace's presence in Europe this season has been one of the big stories in soccer in recent weeks. Having won the FA Cup last season, the Eagles should be competing in the Europa League this season, but UEFA's multi-club rules and a missed deadline by Palace saw the club demoted to the Conference League. Meanwhile, Liverpool has some time to focus on adding to its title-winning squad as the Reds are not in action until traveling to St. James' Park to face Newcastle on Monday in what is set to be a heated game. Liverpool has angered Newcastle fans due to the club's pursuit of Alexander Isak. Perhaps Liverpool will complete a deal before Guehi plays on Thursday. Should the negotiations continue into the back end of the week and beyond, though, Liverpool will risk Guehi picking up an injury as he plays in Palace's rare European outing. Liverpool is looking to sign Guehi for around £35 million ($47 million), but Palace is holding out for £45 million ($61 million), even with his deal expiring next summer. The Eagles are reportedly considering Rennes talent Jeremy Jacquet, should Guehi join Liverpool, although that move remains very much in the balance. Liverpool takes on Newcastle in its next Premier League contest. Meanwhile, Palace hosts Nottingham Forest in its next league game on Sunday, Aug. 24.

Virgil van Dijk makes honest admission over impact of Diogo Jota death on Liverpool squad
Virgil van Dijk said that the effect of Diogo Jota's death on Liverpool's squad should not be underestimated after the Reds started the new Premier League campaign with three points. Liverpool emerged victorious from a pulsating encounter against Bournemouth on Friday, as Hugo Ekitike, Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa, and Mohamed Salah all got on the scoresheet in a 4-2 win. The victory was achieved against the backdrop of an emotion-packed night at Anfield as Liverpool contested its first league game since the passing of Jota in a car crash at the beginning of July. Jota's widow, Rute Cardoso, was in attendance for the game, while a minute's silence was observed ahead of kick-off, and supporters chanted his name throughout. READ MORE: Darwin Nunez shows his true colors after Liverpool transfer exit to Saudi Arabia READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Alexander Isak deadline, Ibrahima Konate talks, Marc Guehi latest Mohamed Salah was visibly moved after the final whistle as he cried while applauding supporters, while Arne Slot said in his post-match TV interview that he wished he would have been able to call on Jota as the team chased a winning goal following Antoine Semenyo's equalizer. Speaking to club media, Van Dijk addressed the difficulty of trying to compete as normal after the tragedy. "We start with a win, a lot of good things, good moments with and without the ball," Van Dijk said. "Unfortunately, we conceded two goals on the break where we should have done better overall. "But under the circumstances, an emotional night for all of us, first game of the season against a team that will never give up, well known for it, in my opinion, with a great manager, we managed to get the three points. "I think nobody should underestimate what's going on. "We are there for each other with the players, with the staff – but we need all of our fans as well in order to get us through everything. "Let's give it everything and give it a go and enjoy the ride as well, because we are very privileged and blessed, like we all know." Meanwhile, match-winner Chiesa also acknowledged the emotion of the evening after securing Liverpool's win with his first-ever Premier League goal. 'It was really emotional today and after I scored, my thoughts went to Diogo, to Andre, to his family who were here today," Jota told club media. "It was really emotional. The goal was for him. 'In my mind, I think that Diogo was somewhere in here helping me to score this goal. I'd like to think like that. He's always with us, he's going to be with us. 'It was tough today but there was a great atmosphere, the fans were amazing throughout the game. Also, I'm really grateful for the song they're singing. Really, really emotional.'
