@SkySports_Keith "Dan Burn in Singapore on Alexander Isak situation: 🗣 If we lost any player it would upset our tight knit group thats been together a few years now. We are looking forward to getting him back when hes fit. Its a question for Alex to answer. He's obviously a big player for us but we do have a lot of quality in the squad as well. Bringing Anthony (Elanga) in as well which I think was a great signing"
