Newcastle did not have the service of star striker Alexander Isak in the match against Celtic, which made their NHM worried.
The future of striker Alexander Isak has become a lively discussion topic in recent days, under which Liverpool has accepted to spend up to £ 120 million for this deal. Earlier The Kop spent £ 200 million to buy Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez.
Coach Arne Slot really wants to sign a new striker to enhance the options in the attack next season. Darwin Nunez is likely to leave when receiving the attention from Saudi Arabia and Napoli, while Luis Diaz was eyeed by Bayern Munich and Barca.

Liverpool also received great losses when Diogo Jota died of a car accident, while Harvey Elliott was currently concerned by West Ham and Brighton. Newcastle is still determined to keep Isak, who still contracts to 2028, but the fact that they care about Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt shows that the port city team can sell Isak.
Newcastle began planning to prepare for the new season with a friendly match against Celtic, but they did not have the service of Isak and Joelinton. According to Newcastle Chronicle, coach Eddie Howe wants the players to focus on have more time to regain the best physical condition, which is why Isak does not play before Celtic.
The Swedish player has just focused again, Newcastle hopes Isak and Joelinton will play next week when Howe's team returns to play with Tottenham in Singapore.
