Liverpool’s interest in Alexander Isak has not gone away, and Newcastle United’s owners held a meeting with the striker to find a resolution.

The 25-year-old striker last laced up for the Magpies in a Premier League defeat to Everton back in May. It has been widely reported that Isak informed Newcastle of his desire to leave the club after that game, which wasn’t the first time he had made this wish clear.
