Howe also states no contract talks are currently ongoing with Isak, who still has three years left to run on his Magpies deal. Chronicle Live reported this week that a £200,000-a-week offer had been put to the former Real Sociedad man in the last round of talks.

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has insisted that talks have taken place with Alexander Isak but negotiations over a new contract have ended for now. This week, it emerged that the Swede has not flown out to Singapore for the start of their pre-season tour.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Craig Hope has shared a detailed explanation of Isak’s stance, and he says Newcastle did something last year that left the striker absolutely furious. Hope spoke about Isak’s situation at Newcastle, claiming that he was very angry last year over his contract situation.
