Latest Liverpool transfer news as it has been claimed that Newcastle may face a fresh Alexander Isak transfer headache if Brentford sell Yoane Wissa\"AlexanderLiverpool are interested in Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.(Image: PA)<\/p>\n

Newcastle could be forced into an Alexander Isak<\/a> transfer decision if they sign Yoane Wissa following interest from Liverpool<\/a>, it has been claimed. Eddie Howe’s side is facing increasing pressure to sell their Swedish star after he expressed a desire to leave the club.<\/a><\/p>\n

The summer-long transfer saga<\/a> took an explosive twist on Tuesday night after Isak spoke out publicly for the first time about his unhappiness at ‘broken promises’ at St James’ Park<\/a>. However, Newcastle issued a defiant response stating that they will not be bullied into an exit for their record signing.<\/p>\n

The Magpies claimed that they have set out demands for their forward but don’t foresee their expectations being met.<\/p>\n

However, Sky Sports’ Keith Downie has proposed an alternative to their view regarding the ongoing pursuit of Wissa.<\/p>\n

The Brentford star is not viewed as a replacement for Isak, more as the successor to Callum Wilson who left the club on a free in the summer.<\/p>\n

It has been claimed that should the deal for Wissa be completed and Liverpool re-enter the market for Isak, Newcastle face a decision over whether to cash-in on their wantaway striker.<\/p>\n

Reports have suggested that Newcastle would need two strikers before even considering sanctioning an exit for Isak.<\/p>\n

Downie said: “We know that Newcastle are trying to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford – that would be the replacement for Callum Wilson.<\/p>\n

“Now, if Newcastle manage to get Wissa in the door and Liverpool made a huge bid for Alexander Isak in the remaining 12 days of the window, I think Newcastle have probably got a decision to make.<\/p>\n

“If Newcastle fail to bring in Wissa, there is no way Alexander Isak is leaving because you would essentially be leaving the club without a central striker.<\/p>\n

“If some magic happened in the window and they manage to find a top-level replacement from somewhere for Isak and they brought in Wissa, then my understanding is Isak would be allowed to go if Liverpool up their bid.<\/p>\n

“I think it would need to be another \u00a325m on top of that (\u00a3110m plus add-ons) for Newcastle to sit up and listen.<\/p>\n

“Until they have got even one replacement in – and they have failed to do that so far this window – there will be no deal happening.”<\/p>\n
