Premier League side Newcastle United have reportedly asked Swede Alexander Isak to train alone after the striker pushed for a switch to champions Liverpool during the ongoing summer transfer window.

The 25-year-old, who was absent from the Toon Army’s friedlies in Singapore and South Korea due to a thigh injury, jetted to Spain to train with his former side Real Sociedad.
Isak returned to Tyneside earlier in the week, but reports suggest that he has been instructed to train alone amid the ongoing transfer saga.
“You have to earn the right to train with us. We are Newcastle United,” the team’s head coach Eddie Howe said earlier in the pre-season.
“We will make sure that any player earns the right to train with the group. No player can expect to act poorly and train with the group as normal,” the English manager said.

Isak has scored 62 times in 109 appearances, since joining the Magpies for £63 million in 2022, and has played a crucial role in the resurgence of the once-heralded English club.
Liverpool, who offered up a £110 million bid for the services of the Swedish striker, saw their advances turned down with Newcastle valuing the player around the £150 million mark.
Liverpool have splashed the cash on a plethora of players in the ongoing window including the likes of Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong, but have also managed to recoup some of the funds through the sale of Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Tyler Morton.
