Alexander Isak has reportedly told Newcastle United that he wants to leave St James' Park during this summer's transfer window, with the Sweden international keen to explore pastures new.

Liverpool have expressed their interest in buying Isak, who did not travel with Newcastle on their pre-season tour of Asia.

Alexander Isak could take the ‘nuclear option’ this summer if Newcastle United refuse to sanction a transfer to Liverpool, according to reports. The Reds have secured deals for four big-name transfers with Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike all joining this summer.
