Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has spoken about the ongoing rumours linking striker Alexander Isak with a move away from St. James’ Park.
With constant speculation surrounding the Swedish forward, Howe admitted the situation has been a distraction but praised his players for their ability to stay focused:
“I hope the Isak story is resolved quickly, because it’s news around us all the time. Players have managed to shut that out and perform. We have to continue to do that. We have to cope without the narrative against us.”
Isak, 25, has been a standout performer for Newcastle since joining from Real Sociedad in 2022, attracting attention from several top European clubs. However, Howe remains determined to keep his striker and ensure the team stays focused on their Premier League campaign.
The Newcastle boss has consistently emphasized the importance of maintaining squad unity despite external speculation, noting that the dressing room remains strong and committed.
As the transfer window edges closer to its conclusion, the Magpies will hope the rumours surrounding Isak’s future are settled swiftly so that full attention can turn back to matters on the pitch.
