Alexander Isak has finally gone public on his desire to leave Newcastle United, claiming promises have been “broken” and “trust is lost” as he urged the club to allow him to leave.

Alexander Isak accused Newcastle United of breaking promises and misleading supporters in a social media statement on Tuesday that confirmed he wanted to leave the Premier League club. The 25-year-old forward said he informed Newcastle of his desire to leave a long time ago.

Newcastle have maintained publicly that Isak isn't for sale, but Liverpool know they are looking for two strikers for a reason. When - or perhaps if - Newcastle do, Liverpool are expected to ramp up their interest with another bid. Sources say the next offer will be a minimum £120m. At the moment, though, it's a waiting game.
