Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe said he is confident that striker Alexander Isak will be at the Premier League club at the start of the 2025-26 season, after leaving the Swede out of their 4-0 friendly loss to Celtic due to transfer talk.

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe said Alexander Isak missed the 4-0 preseason defeat against Celtic due to speculation linking him with a transfer.

However, the recent £55m signing of Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest may have direct consequences for the 27-year-old. As per former scout Mick Brown, who is a regular contributor to Football Insider, Newcastle are now open to listening to offers for the playmaker.
