Newcastle have been chasing a new centre forward throughout the summer transfer window after the departure of Callum Wilson and the impending sale of Alexander Isak. However, after failing to land Hugo Ekitike who signed for Liverpool and now losing out on Sesko the hope for Isak to leave to The Reds could now be destroyed.0

Speculation over the future of Isak has grown in recent weeks, with Liverpool seeing an 3110M bid for the Sweden international turned down on Friday. Reports suggest that no amount of money would tempt the Magpies who would be without a striker when the season begins if Isak does leave.0
