Newcastle United are in the market to sign a new striker to replace Alexander Isak, who has made himself unavailable for selection.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe remains hopeful Alexander Isak can be reintegrated into the squad, despite the disgruntled striker saying his relationship with the club cannot continue in an explosive midweek post on social media.

Newcastle United appear to have already lost the Alexander Isak battle. Reports had already been circulating that Isak had made his wishes to leave Newcastle clear, but his recent statement following the 2025 PFA Awards gala have shed even further light on the strained situation between player and club.
