Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has spoken frankly about the uncertainty about the future of Star -Spits Alexander Isak and admits that the continuous speculation has become an unwanted distraction for the club as the new season approaches.
The magpies started their season without their star -striker and traveled to Villa Park to be confronted opposite Aston Villa.
The match ended 0-0 and it was clear that the Magpies missed a Finisher in front, a position that Isak has made its own for the Howe team.
With the striker who goes on a strike to force a move to Liverpool, Howe and his team are confronted with a moment of uncertainty while they will soon be looking for a resolution.
Eddie Howe wants resolution to the Alexander Isak Saga
In a press conference, Howe emphasized the importance of quickly resolving the case, as reported by journalist Ben Jacobs.
“I hope it will be solved soon because it is news around us all the time,” Said Howe.
“We want a resolution. If I say ‘we’, I am talking about myself, ownership, the players, everyone really, because I think we need that clarity this season.”
The boss of Newcastle further explained that the decision is ultimately in the hands of Isak:
“Nothing has changed, the door is good and really open. But Alex has to decide what he wants to do. Alex has control over what he does. I have no control over him.”
Isak will soon have to make a decision about his future
Isak is central to a summer transfer waga, with strong ties with Liverpool, which have identified him as their top striker.
The Reds have already tested the determination of Newcastle with a mammoth £ 110 million offer earlier in the window, only to be quickly rejected by the Tyneside Club.
The Sweden International, which scored 27 goals in all competitions last season, has become indispensable for the attacking arrangement of Howe and a favorite at the fans in St James’ Park.
Losing Isak would undoubtedly be a blow, but extending the uncertainty can also disrupt the squadharmony.
