"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"

Alex has been really good he's trained really well and I realise there'll be noise around him. 🗣 I chose to send him home. The last thing Alex wants if he is not playing is to be sat in the stand and under that scrutiny then if he wasn't going to play today we mutually agreed he shouldn't be here. 🗣 Has there been any approach for Alex No there's been no formal approach." 🗣 "We have a few of those players who are"

"🚨 Liverpool are expected to rival Newcastle for Hugo Ekitike after being told Alexander Isak is not for sale in this window. ❌ No formal approach for Isak was made by #LFC but #NUFC have always made it clear Isak is not for sale and value him at +150m. Liverpool now expected to go for Ekitike instead knowing Isak is staying on Tyneside. 💰 Newcastle had a club-record 70m offer turned down for by Eintracht Frankfurt for Ekitike this morning"

"Eddie Howe on Alexander Isaks absence today at Celtic: 🗣 It was my decision. He travelled back to Glasgow with us but I decided to send him home due to the speculation around him. The last thing he wanted is to be sat in the stand watching that wasnt fair to him. But im confident he will be a Newcastle player come the end of the window. #NUFC"

"🚨 Newcastle are interested in Brentford forward Yoane Wissa. ⚽ They are in the market for a striker knowing that they could miss out on Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool. Ekitike move isnt dead but as reported on Tuesday going to be difficult with Liverpool also at the table. 💰 Wissa is valued +30m - with one year left on his Bees contract plus an option. ⚽ The 28-year-old scored XX goals last season. 💸 Nottingham Forest had a bid of around 25m turned down for Wissa earlier this window. ❓ Spurs had also been interested in Wissa but the arrival of Mohammed Kudus has lessened the need for the"

"Anthony Elanga on Alexander Isak and his #NUFC future: 🗣 You look at this team I could go through them all. Ive been here for a week and feel like its been forever. A player like Alex he is one of the best strikers in the world and we all (the squad) want to play with him (next season). I have played with him at international level so I can say that hes top. There is always going to be rumours (about him leaving) but training with him and playing at international level with him has been amazing"
