Liverpool have been questioned over their handling of Alexander Isak's proposed move from Newcastle as the transfer saga drags on and fans of the Swede's current club grow angry

More speculation has been caused by Isak’s likely decision to snub the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) awards gala on Tuesday. BBC Sport claim that the 25-year-old forward, who is one of six nominees for the marquee Players’ Player of the Year gong, is not expected to attend the ceremony which will be held at the Manchester Opera House.

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak would obviously be a great signing for Liverpool, but he shouldn't be their priority right now, given the Reds' obvious problems in defence

Tottenham could help a new club lure Alexander Isak away from Liverpool with an unexpected windfall as a new transfer target has emerged for Thomas Frank. Clubs in the Premier League are working hard behind the scenes to recruit new players ahead of next month's transfer deadline.

Liverpool have set a deadline for Newcastle to seal the Alexander Isak deal, while Manchester United have set a target to sign two new players including a former goalkeeper.

Liverpool remain keen to add Alexander Isak to their star-studded squad before the end of the transfer window and it appears that a complicated situation is now starting to resolve itself

The Reds have had a £110 million offer for Isak rejected by Newcastle, with Keys claiming the Premier League champions are weighing up a second bid. He states the second offer is worth £140 million, with £80 million up front before a second instalment of £60 million next season.
