Kieran Trippier makes fresh Alexander Isak transfer claim - 'Not panicking' #NUFC chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football…
🚨 NEW POD: pod.fo/e/30410e - Why Alexander Isak's timing is all off! - But can the striker make a u-turn? - Why I would cash in, if a replacement is in first - Aaron Ramsdale to #NUFC? with @AaronJStokes | @EIBWPodcast
Will be back in the studio after a week off! Will be recording The Monday Show with @AaronJStokes later today. Key Q for me: Has Alexander Isak burnt his bridges at #NUFC? Or would you welcome him back into the mix if his exit didn’t materialise?
Eddie Howe exercising caution over Sven Botman, who limped out of Arsenal loss with potential issue. “He said his groin felt tight, fingers crossed he’s ok” 🤕 #NUFC
#AFC youngster Max Dowman, just 15, looks like an absolute superstar in the making. Newcastle have not been able to control him in this second half.
Team news from the National Stadium in Singapore! 🚨 #NUFC chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football…
Howe, speaking for the first time since landing in 🇸🇬, offers an Isak update "Whatever happens has to be right for #NUFC. We’re in a strong position financially & we’re determined to be successful, we’re ambitious + we’ve got a great season ahead of us.” chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football…
#NUFC now seemingly stuck in a pretty tricky position RE Alexander Isak: Either they sell for £150m & have to sufficiently replace him + strengthen in multiple areas - with just 5 weeks left of the window. Or they keep him & Howe has to get a potentially distracted player back…
#NUFC confirm signing of Seung-soo Park from Suwon Bluewings. 18 y/o highly thought of in South Korea. Park was in the crowd for Celtic defeat Saturday and is expected to be kept this season, rather than loaned out 🇰🇷
🇰🇷✍️
Leaving aside the Isak transfer speculation, the fact he misses Asia means he’ll only have one game - either Espanyol or Atletico - to get himself ready for Prem football returning With Osula/Neave as only natural backups, it puts more pressure on #NUFC getting a striker in.

Brentford’s valuation of £50m for Yoane Wissa feels high. 19 PL goals last season but entering final 12 months of his deal, at 28, with big clubs circling. £30m feels the sweet spot, IMO. #NUFC keen as they search for a timely breakthrough.
No Alexander Isak or Joelinton at Celtic today as their minutes are managed at this stage of pre-season. Isak didn’t return to training until earlier this week. Elanga starts on the bench. Hernes, White, Munda, Neave, A Murphy among the youngsters who also travelled #NUFC
Worth remembering @seanlongstaff97 featured 41 times in the 22/23 Champions League qualification season & 46 times the following year. When Eddie Howe needed him, he stepped up. PSG, Southampton semi-final & many more memorable contributions from him in recent years 👏 #NUFC

Elanga to wear the number 20 this season, #NUFC confirm 🇸🇪
