Eddie Howe says Newcastle are yet to replace Callum Wilson but chances of new arrivals before deadline day are now a case of "hope more than expectation" at St James' Park

Newcastle United are still keen on Brentford star Yoane Wissa with Eddie Howe seeing the DR Congo star as an ideal replacement for departing Callum Wilson. Wilson has signed for West Ham leaving Howe lacking experienced cover for either Alexander Isak or any new big-name replacement.

Newcastle's star striker is willing to do whatever it takes to leave for Liverpool, but if a move doesn't happen, he'll need a way back in favor.

Eddie Howe is relishing a 'spicy' clash with Liverpool on August 25th, while hoping Alexander Isak's ongoing saga is resolved by the time the champions arrive at St James' Park. Newcastle United battled to a 0-0 draw with 10-man Aston Villa on the opening day, without Isak, as they failed to use their advantage in the closing stages.

Eddie Howe has made his feelings clear on Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak alternative. Isak has played no part in Newcastle’s pre-season preparations after going on strike in a bid to force through a move to Liverpool and missed the opening game of the Premier League season at Aston Villa as a result.

Liverpool have been linked with a move for Alexander Isak for some time, and the Reds have now learned Newcastle's latest stance after the Sweden striker was absent from the Magpies' Premier League op

The Sweden international is keen to move to Liverpool and has been training away from his Newcastle team-mates.
