Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe has said striker Alexander Isak’s future will be decided by the club’s ownership..

Howe has now confirmed that he will not be linking up with the squad, as the Newcastle boss must now contend with the prospect of potentially losing his star player ahead of the new campaign.

Liverpool are expected to launch a bid for Alexander Isak after freeing up the funds to do so. The Premier League champions have sold Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich for a reported £65million, with the transfer made official on Wednesday morning.
