Alexander Isak has already ruled out one move after informing Newcastle United of his readiness to leave the club.

The expectation from within is that Alexander Isak will be told to report back to training and play in either the Espanyol game or clash with Atletico Madrid. But Newcastle are still very much active in their attempts to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford - although the DR Congo man's fight to leave lies in Brentford's hands.

Eddie Howe admits that Newcastle United’s board “have a decision to make” when it comes to Alexander Isak’s future, but insists that whatever the outcome it must be in the best interests of the club.
