Alexander Isak, star striker for Newcastle United, will not be part of the team’s pre-season tour of Asia. This absence has generated great anticipation and speculation about his future at the club.
The club has reported that Isak will miss the tour due to a slight hamstring injury.
Sources close to the player revealed that Al Hilal has shown interest in signing Isak.
Furthermore, the striker has been linked with Liverpool, increasing the uncertainty about his continuity in Newcastle’s ranks.
Isak also missed the friendly against Celtic last Saturday. The coach, Eddie Howe, admitted that he could not guarantee the player’s permanence in the team at the close of the transfer market.
I think it’s difficult for me to give 100% clarity on any player. I would never sit here and do that because this is football and you never know what can happen.
Eddie Howe
The coach added that Isak is happy at Newcastle and enjoys his relationship with his teammates and the coaching staff.
