Newcastle United are preparing for life without Alexander Isak as the Swedish striker pushes for a summer move to Liverpool.

Isak, who is yet to feature for the Magpies this season, has made his desire to leave clear, forcing manager Eddie Howe and the club’s recruitment team to act fast with the transfer window closing on Monday.

The club recently had a £50 million bid rejected for Wolves’ forward Jorgen Strand Larsen, but he remains one of their top targets.

According to The Athletic, Newcastle’s shortlist of possible replacements includes:

Jorgen Strand Larsen (Wolves)

Yoane Wissa (Brentford)

Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea)

Gonçalo Ramos (Paris Saint-Germain)

Samu Omorodion Aghehowa (Atletico Madrid)

Rodrigo Muniz (Fulham)

Alexander Sørloth (Villarreal)

With Isak edging closer to an exit, Newcastle’s focus will be on securing a proven goalscorer to keep their European ambitions alive this season.

The coming days promise to be decisive as the Magpies race against time before the window slams shut.
