Alexander Isak is having to train away from his Newcastle team-mates in the afternoon amid continued interest from Liverpool, who are in negotiations to see more players exit Anfield

Alexander Isak arrived alone at Newcastle United’s Benton training ground on Wednesday afternoon — hours after his teammates had left and missed a scheduled family event arranged by head coach

Isak did not travel with his team-mates on their pre-season trip to Singapore and South Korea, ostensibly because of a minor thigh injury, after Liverpool, who subsequently tabled a £110million bid for him, let it be known they remained interested in acquiring his services.
