Liverpool are in the market for a new striker, and their leading target is Newcastle United superstar Alexander Isak. The former Real Sociedad man is equally desperate to make the move to Anfield,

Eddie Howe had high hopes for Alexander Isak to excel in the Premier League when he signed him three years ago – but the Swedish striker's impressive performances have led him to seek a move away from Newcastle. The forward has made no secret of his desire to leave Tyneside, with Liverpool currently leading the race for his signature.

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has revealed that the club simply cannot sanction Alexander Isak’s exit to Liverpool without buying a new striker themselves.
