Liverpool Awaits Striker News Amid Newcastle Turmoil…
Wolves chairman Jeff Shi is playing the ultimate game of hard-to-get by blocking Jorgen Strand Larsen from joining Newcastle, leaving Liverpool as nervous as a cat surrounded by rocking chairs. Newcastle has already tried to woo Strand Larsen with a whopping $74 million bid, but Wolves isn’t budging. They worry about being left as short-staffed as a desert diner with only salt and pepper shakers. With the transfer deadline looming, the search for a replacement has Wolves as jumpy as a cricket in a coffee shop!
Meanwhile, Newcastle is batting its eyelashes at Strand Larsen as a possible replacement for Callum Wilson, though Alexander Isak’s case is causing more drama than a soap opera marathon. Isak has met with Newcastle’s owners, presumably in a conversation so tense it could bend spoons. Although Eddie Howe wants him to stay, Isak hasn’t played since last season and says promises were broken, making him feel like the last cookie in a jar – there, but not wanted. Will Newcastle find the striker it’s after or end up single at the transfer deadline dance?
