Swedish striker looks set to get his Liverpool move
‘I have no control over it,’ admits Newcastle manager
Eddie Howe has denied suggestions he promised Alexander Isak a transfer out of Newcastle this summer but indicated it may be in everyone’s best interests if the striker departed.
Rumours that Newcastle’s manager had informed Isak he would be free to join Liverpool once a replacement was signed have been circulating in the 10 days since the striker posted an emotional Instagram post talking of “broken promises” but Howe has rejected that notion quite vehemently.
“Absolutely not,” he said. “I never make any promises to any players regarding transfers because, ultimately, I’m not in control of the whole thing. I would never make a promise like that to any player.”
