Manager backs club to find a new forward in this window
‘We can’t go through season with no recognised striker’
Newcastle’s owners will not leave Eddie Howe without a recognised senior striker as the Alexander Isak saga rumbles into the final few days of the summer transfer window.
The St James’ Park hierarchy has to date remained steadfast amid Liverpool’s attempts to prise the 25-year-old Sweden international out of the club, aided by the player’s stated intention to leave.
However, with Callum Wilson having already left and no sign of a replacement arriving – Brentford’s Yoane Wissa currently remains stubbornly beyond Howe’s grasp with João Pedro, Hugo Ekitiké and Benjamin Sesko having already slipped through it – Newcastle find themselves in a difficult situation.
