Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson has revealed Alexander Isak is way short of match fitness but has backed the Newcastle striker as a 'game-changer'.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Tomasson has warned Isak is short of peak fitness following his falling out with Newcastle over his desired move to Liverpool. Tomasson has, however, spoken very highly of the match-winning qualities and mental fortitude the Sweden international possesses.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Isak to Liverpool has been the headline-grabbing transfer saga of the summer. It finally looks like it's heading towards the end game after Newcastle agreed a deal for Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade, potentially clearing the way for Isak to head to the champions at Anfield. 

WHAT TOMASSON SAID

Tomasson said: "Can he play 90 minutes? Of course not. Not at all. Alex is a very professional player, a strong character, and he has worked hard. He is a game changer. I have spoken to him several times; mentally, he is strong. What we have said stays between us, of course. It is very difficult to have a clear opinion about the situation. We do not know what has happened in the club. We must be very careful about drawing hasty conclusions when we do not have the whole picture. He is smart enough, he is smarter than me, I think."

WHAT NEXT FOR ISAK?

Isak will be hoping and praying for a positive outcome in Newcastle's bid to sign Woltemade, which appears to be the missing link in his move to join Arne Slot's side. The last few weeks have greatly damaged his relationship with Toon fans, but a new chapter must now feel like it's within touching distance.
