Newcastle star Alexander Isak has long been associated with a move to the Premier League -rival Liverpool and a striker that already goals in England laws can be set as his replacement
Newcastle is talking about a potential deal for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen while they try to sign a replacement for Alexander Isak. The Swedish attacker remains out of operation for the Magpies after he has asked to leave the club.
He still has to train with his colleagues from the first team, while he did not play in the Premier League seasers opener of Newcastle against Aston Villa. Liverpool remains interested, but still has to agree with Newcastle.
While that situation is running, Eddie Howe's side is looking for a possible replacement and it has identified a current Premier League attacker as an option. According to athletics, Wolves Striker Strand Larsen is interesting for the northeast side.
His conversations are reportedly going through intermediaries, with discussions to start between clubs. Strand Larsen would like a potential movement, but does not try to actively leave wolves as it looks now, with conversations at an early stage.
Strand Larsen, 25, joined Wolves on loan from Celta Vigo last summer and after 14 goals in his debut campaign they signed him permanently for a reported reimbursement of € 30 million (£ 26 million). He put Pen on paper for a five -year -old deal at Molineux.
Away from Strand Larsen, Newcastle is still interested in Brentford star Yoane Wissa, but so far refuse to match the asking price of £ 60 million of the bees. Asked for a more transfer company, Newcastle said Eddie Howe: “We are still active in the window and we would like to add one or two players, but it is really quality over quantity.
“We don't just want to add and I don't think we should do too much more. We are strong and in certain areas we have a good depth and we will be able and resilient enough to endure a long, difficult season. The competition is so difficult and the challenges are so great for us.”
Especially on Isak, Howe has somehow insisted on the Saga. He said: “We want a resolution. I am talking about myself, I am sure the property and the players. We need that clarity. You do not need distraction. But I have no control over that. I think that only one person can really control that.”

He added: “This season, every season, every season, it will be difficult enough. You don't need any form of distraction to exchange your thoughts, to match what we do.
“I hope it will be solved quickly, because it is news around us all the time. The players have succeeded in excluding that and to perform. We have to keep doing that.”
