Eddie Howe has shared his transfer plans for a key position ahead of the Aston Villa match, while uncertainty over Isak’s future continues.

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has urged clarity over Alexander Isak’s future as speculation continues to link the Swedish striker with Liverpool. The uncertainty has dominated headlines in recent weeks, placing extra scrutiny on Newcastle’s preparations and squad stability.

The summer has been dominated by the transfer window, and with more than two weeks to go until it closes on September 1, that's not likely to change even with the return of the action on the pitch. Newcastle remain embroiled in a messy situation over Alexander Isak's future, with the Swedish striker unavailable for Saturday's lunchtime kick-off.

Tim Sherwood has insisted that Newcastle manager Eddie Howe will already be aware of what is going to happen with Alexander Isak before the end of the transfer window. Isak played no part in the Magpies’ first Premier League game on Saturday (16 August) as they were held to a goalless draw away at Aston Villa.

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has requested that the club resolve Alexander Isak's situation soon, while backing fans' right to boo the wantaway striker. The Magpies fans were heard hurling an X-rated chant at Isak at Villa Park at full-time after the team's Premier League opener against Aston Villa.
