Wantaway Newcastle -striker Alexander Isak has received the support of the Sweden -Baas Jon Dahl Tomasson in the midst of the current Saga around his future.
Isak, 25, is currently in strike and refuses to train or play with the Newcastle team while trying by forcing a move to Liverpool.
He was the subject of an £ 110 million bid on the part of Arne Slot last month, which was immediately rejected by the Newcastle -Hierarchy, which is assumed to appreciate the Isak at £ 150 million.
The Saga started at the beginning of the summer when the talented frontman initially reported an injury to keep him out of the tour of the Magpies and since then the impasse has continued.
Isak, who is heavily criticized in the media and by Magpies fans, then missed the 0-0 draw of Newcastle on Aston Villa on Saturday, a movement that fined him by the club. During that collision he became the target of supporter hymns, where he was labeled as a 'greedy B ***** d'.
Despite the constant speculation around his future, Isak did not respond publicly, but Sweden Baas Tomasson has now given his opinion on the situation.
“First of all, Alex is an extremely professional player,” Tomasson told the Swedish Outlet Photboll channels. 'A fantastic character and personality. I spoke a lot with Alex during this period.
'Such situations are quite complex. These are extremely complex environments in which the players work.
'I am sure it will eventually work, but you have to know the whole image before you draw conclusions. That is always a good tip. '
Tomasson will hope that the future of Isak was resolved earlier instead of later, because he wants to help Sweden qualify for the World Cup next summer.
However, the former Blackburn -Baas may shed a new light on the situation when he wondered if people were aware of the real truth of the Saga.
“I don't think we know,” he added. “I don't know the whole picture either. It is very normal because there is a lot of political in a football club.
'But one thing is certain: Alex is a great guy and very professional. We all have to be very careful with drawing conclusions because we don't know the bigger at all. '
Sweden will take on Slovenia and Kosovo in their first World Cup qualifications next month and Tomasson remained tight lips on the potential involvement of Isak in view of his lack of matchfitness.
“There is time,” he explained. “He is a professional and I know he has trained. Of course he did not train with a team and did not play any matches. Let's wait.
“We will have a good conversation, Alex and I, and hopefully he will soon be back in team training.”
Newcastle -Baas Eddie Howe was not surprisingly investigated about the issue of the future of Isak on every occasion and he gave an update after the Villa collision.
“We want a resolution,” he said. '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 will be difficult enough. You do not need any form of distraction to exchange your thoughts, to balance what we do.
'I hope it will be solved soon, because it is news around us all the time. The players have succeeded in excluding that and to perform. We must continue to do that. '
From the fan chant focused on Isak, Howe said: 'Whatever happens, I think the support today supported really because they have supported the team, which is always my big question, to support the team when we play.
'And they have done that incredibly well at a number of difficult moments during the four years.
“And if they want to say something afterwards, I think they are very free to do that.”
How did his wish for Isak repeated to return to the team and said: 'Nothing has changed, but the door is good and really open. But yes, he has to decide what he wants to do. '
In the meantime, Newcastle hopes to close a deal for Brentford's Yoane Wissa this week, while they are also fighting to sign PSG striker Goncalo Ramos.
They will return to action next Monday when they entertain Liverpool in St James' Park.
