Eddie Howe has many problems to tackle in Newcastle United during the preseason, and whether he likes it or not, all media can talk about the speculation around the future of Alexander Isak and how he will solve that specific problem.
Even after a lively version of his side against Arsenal in Singapore on Sunday, more questions are asked about one man who is absent in the team than in it.
After the game, Howe spoke with the media and Howe gave a new update about the immediate future of Alexander Isak at the club, as well as the current state of transfer activity that takes place on Tyneside.
While the club has finished his participation in the Singapore Festival of Football, the next stop on the tour through Asia, South Korea.
But the manager has now confirmed that Isak does not reunite with the team for this part of the campaign for the season.
Just comment “No, no chance. “To the question of the possibility of the Swede
Today’s achievements against an almost complete strength Arsenal defense showed that we are still very able to form an attacking threat and to score against a large team.
But in order not to be involved in at least three of our five major pre-season races, it will undoubtedly mean that he is rusty, the start of the season in August.
And for Howe, very much a realist, but often an optimist, so that Isak will not come to the team in Zuid -Korea, can be a sign in how icy the relationship between the manager and his star player has changed within a few days.
Howe again has the need to overcome problems in the transfer market and add it to a team that has only seen one big signing coming all summer.
“Of course (we need signing sessions), we are not misled. We know we have to bring in players, we have known that for a long time.”
“At the end of last season we did all the work we wanted. It was a challenging transfer window, let’s see what we can do.”
Anthony Elanga, who opened the score in the Singapore National Stadium, remains the only senior signing that has been made so far.
Since yesterday there has been no update on the current status of our movements for Benjamin Sesko and Yoane Wissa, although we recently asked RB Leipzig for the Big Slovenian, while Wissa is locked up in a struggle with the Brentford -hierarchy because they are committed not to sell their Star -Man.
