Where will Alexander Isak play in the coming months? For the time being difficult to say, but the Swedish international (52 selections, 16 goals) seems more than ever, determined to fold up. On strike and absent for the first day of the Premier League against Aston Villa, the number 14 of the Magpies attended at a distance from the draw of his own (0-0). An explosive situation at a time when Solna's native tries to force his departure to Liverpool, winner of Bournemouth on Friday evening.
Asked after the meeting, Eddie Howe logically returned to this boiling file. “The door is well open, but it (Isak, editor's note) must decide what he wants to do. We would like a quick resolution, we need this clarity. I don't have control, but only one person has it. I expressed my position quite clearly ”first recognized the 47-year-old Englishman before returning to the weighing climate caused by this still unacceptable operation.
Howe wants to put an end to the Isak soap!
“Whatever happens (with Isak), our supporters were very good today because they supported the team during the match. They always did it incredibly. If they mean something afterwards, they are free to do it. The players managed to ignore it all and perform. We must continue on this momentum. We have to face this negative speech “. Relaunched on a possible sanction addressed to the principal concerned, namely a fine, Howe did not want to get involved.
“Other people take care of this problem. I focus on the team. It's easy to say (that with Isak we were going to win this match) and there is no way to know if this is the case. But of course, we will miss it ”finally concluded the Magpies technician. One thing is certain, if Newcastle is preparing at the start of its house scorer, this summer soap opera is still far from finished, which is more at the time when some observers of the Mersey club ask themselves the question of the capital gain of such an arrival when Hugo Ekitike shines with a thousand lights.
