F ormer Newcastle United manager Sam Allardyce has shared his feelings towards Alexander Isak and his ongoing transfer stand-off against the club. Isak has appeared determined to quit Newcastle this summer. He has not gone as far as making a formal transfer request but intends to not play for Eddie Howe's team again.

It has been a testing, challenging summer for Newcastle United, but as the first game of the Premier League season towards us, they appear to have quietly rescued their transfer window.

Newcastle fans will be disappointed to learn that a number of their players have been called out for not caring about Isak's transfer saga with Liverpool.
