Isak Dreams of Liverpool as Owen Warns…
Michael Owen has given Alexander Isak a heads-up, telling him he may not waltz straight into Liverpool’s starting eleven. The Newcastle United forward has declared his desire to exit his club after a very drawn-out transfer saga that makes waiting for a snail race seem like a sprint. In an all-caps social media rant, Isak expressed his frustration over unfulfilled promises and publicly announced his wish to leave St. James’ Park. He was missing in action for Newcastle’s pre-season Asia tour and has been training solo back in Tyneside, a bit like a lone cowboy in a football desert. Meanwhile, Owen humorously warned him that stepping into Merseyside footwear isn’t as easy as finding loose change in your couch.
Owen, known for his love of Liverpool, pointed out to Mirror Football via 247Bet that Salah, Gakpo, and Ekitike have been so good this season, they might as well be part of a secret superhero team. Salah, the Golden Boot-owner with 29 goals, continues tearing through defenses like they’re made of bubble wrap. Gakpo and Ekitike seem to have taken the challenge of scoring to heart, making Owen’s plea for new players sound like a desperate attempt to boost Liverpool from superhero squad to intergalactic space invader defense force. In the meantime, Liverpool is eyeing Crystal Palace’s captain Marc Guehi to fortify their defense. But with their first offer for Isak being rejected faster than kids rejecting broccoli, there might still be some haggling to do over at Newcastle.
