The expectation from within is that Alexander Isak will be told to report back to training and play in either the Espanyol game or clash with Atletico Madrid. But Newcastle are still very much active in their attempts to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford - although the DR Congo man's fight to leave lies in Brentford's hands.

Newcastle have told Alexander Isak he will not be joining Liverpool or anyone else this summer with owners PIF 'putting the block on him leaving the club’.

Liverpool have broken the British transfer record and signed a £79 million striker. Can the the Premier League champions really add Alexander Isak to this intoxicating mix?
