Burnley Women part ways with Sawiuk

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has expressed confidence in achieving his career goals at the club but has opted to delay discussions on a contract renewal until the summer. Isak, 25, will still have three years left on his current contract by the end of the campaign. Despite this, the club is eager to secure an extension to further cement his place in their long-term plans.“I’m not really thinking about the summer,” Isak said, when asked about whether he was open to signing a new deal. “That will probably be a talking point once the season finishes, but we will really see because no talks have been held yet.“Really, about my future, it is not really something I think about. During a season I just focus on the job and it’s probably the worst time to think about anything else. All of our focus is just on Sunday, doing good and hopefully bringing the trophy back to Newcastle.“
