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

Newcastle is set to miss out on their No 1 striking target for the summer with Benjamin Sesko edging closer to a move to Man Utd as uncertainty continues to surround Alexander Isak
