Alexander Isak left furious after being told he will NOT be sold this summer after Newcastle miss out on Benjamin Sesko deal

Earlier this week, Sky Sports reported that Isak had trained alone in Newcastle's facilities on Wednesday, as he continued to push for a potential move to Liverpool, amid reports of a British-record £150 million ($200m) second bid from the Premier League champions. The striker arrived at the training ground as the rest of the squad were leaving, fresh from a 'family day', from which Isak was excluded.

Now, The Telegraph reports that Isak has been informed that the Magpies won't sell him in the summer window and that left the Sweden international furious. The striker will also not be allowed to play for the club until he comes to terms that he won't be able to exit St James' Park, at least in the current window. 

Newcastle themselves have missed out on securing transfers for two key targets this window as Hugo Ekitike signed for the Reds, while Benjamin Sesko opted to join Manchester United. Eddie Howe is still pushing for a new striker, although even if the club manage to sign a new forward, Isak will still remain at the club.

Newcastle are set to face Atletico Madrid in their final pre-season friendly on Saturday before they kick off the new season against Aston Villa on August 16.
