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

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.

Newcastle have switched their attention to a deal for Brentford's Yoane Wissa but, as it stands, a price is yet to be agreed. Meanwhile, moves for Hugo Ekitike, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap and Matheus Cunha have all fallen flat.
