Liverpool's pursuit of Alexander Isak could be put on hold after Newcastle United had an offer of £70m rejected for RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko. The Magpies are eyeing a move for the 22-year-old Slovenian international after Isak made it clear last month that he wanted to leave St James' Park to join Liverpool.

The biggest talking point of the summer continues to be Alexander Isak, with his United future still up in the air as his team-mates continue their Far East jaunt. The Swede has missed the club's Asia jaunt as Liverpool linger over a potential swoop his for signature.

Newcastle have rejected a formal £110million offer from Liverpool for centre-forward Alexander Isak. Isak wants to leave Newcastle this summer and has been training at his former club, Real Sociedad, while Eddie Howe’s squad are in South Korea as part of their pre-season tour of Asia.
