With less than two weeks until the summer window closes, Isak has taken the nuclear option in a desperate bid to force a move away. He released a public statement on Tuesday night, in which he referenced 'broken promises' from Newcastle's leadership. Isak is also said to be refusing to play for the Tyneside club until a transfer is agreed.

That's how long it has been since Liverpool's £110m bid for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak was rejected. Since then, there have been no further offers. But it hasn't stopped the future of the 25-year-old Sweden striker being the biggest talking point of the summer window.
