ALEXANDER ISAK fumed that “trust has been lost” with Newcastle in an explosive statement last night. But former Tottenham star Luka Modric once released an even more damning statement

Alexander Isak’s transfer saga is a “f***ing mess” and his agent should be “sacked on the spot”, claims Newcastle legend Alan Shearer.

With less than two weeks until the summer window closes, Isak has taken the nuclear option in a desperate bid to force a move away. He released a public statement on Tuesday night, in which he referenced 'broken promises' from Newcastle's leadership. Isak is also said to be refusing to play for the Tyneside club until a transfer is agreed.

Pundit Don Hutchison has now taken to social media to suggest another striker Liverpool can move to sign – Julian Alvarez. The former Liverpool midfielder believes that Atletico Madrid star Alvarez is the man Liverpool really need, rather than Isak.

Isak broke his silence on Tuesday, saying his relationship with Newcastle "can't continue" after losing trust in the club. However, the early season form of Hugo Ekitike has tempered the need for Premier League champions Liverpool to meet Newcastle's demands.
