Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak reportedly 'checked out' months ago at St James' Park as Liverpool line up a deal for the striker this summer.

The Swedish forward is seeking a change of scenery, but only considers signing with the Anfield team.

Newcastle United are working on a deal to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who could end up replacing Alexander Isak. As revealed by TBR Football, Sesko tops Newcastle’s list of targets as they hope to bring in another striker this summer.

As Newcastle United prepare for a preseason tour in Asia, where they'll face the K-League All-Stars and Tottenham, they may also need to begin to prepare for life without their star striker, Alexander Isak.

There’s reason for hope, though. “Newcastle are targeting RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, who has been linked with several European clubs this summer,” suggests the club has its eyes on top-tier talent. Sesko is dynamic, raw, and full of upside. If paired with a player like Larsen, the duo could even rival Isak’s individual impact.

According to reports, Newcastle United star Alexander Isak has ‘set a condition’ for him to ‘accept an offer’ amid interest from Liverpool. Earlier this week, Liverpool‘s chances of signing Isak improved as the striker informed Newcastle of his intention to ‘explore’ a move elsewhere this summer.

Newcastle have already been making attempts to strengthen their attack this summer – and question marks over Alexander Isak’s future mean the need for attacking additions could yet increase.Isak

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak was spotted training alone today amid reports he has picked up a minor injury as rumours continue to swirl surrounding his future. Al Hilal and Liverpool are both thought to be interested in the Swede’s services this summer, despite Newcastle’s insistence that the striker is not for sale.
