Isak’s Transfer Saga Takes a New Twist…
Eddie Howe revealed that Alexander Isak has recovered from his injury, turning the Newcastle striker’s situation more dramatic than a soap opera on a rollercoaster! The 25-year-old has been training separately as the ongoing Liverpool interest continues like a persistent mosquito in summer. With the Premier League champions previously having a bid rejected, there’s still hope that a deal will be reached, especially since Isak seems as eager to move as a cat approaches an open sardine can. The Sweden star has more or less been forgotten by Newcastle’s summer plans and wasn’t taken for the team’s big trip to the Far East.
In their match against Espanyol, ending in a 2-2 draw, Isak was nowhere in sight. Howe mentioned post-game that the Swedish striker is fit as a fiddle but resting in the doghouse. “His thigh injury has healed quicker than a magician’s rabbit, but unfortunately, it’s a discipline thing keeping him out,” he said with the casualness of a man discussing an overcooked Sunday roast. Meanwhile, Newcastle is busy robbing the transfer cookie jar, eyeing Yoane Wissa, Randal Kolo Muani, and Samu Aghehowa to fill gaps, hoping to avoid more transfer market roundabouts than a carousel Horse Derby. The Magpies’ attempts at landing targets have been as elusive as finding a quiet moment in a noisy classroom.
