Eddie Howe has admitted Newcastle have a decision to make on Alexander Isak's future but reiterated his hope that the striker will stay at the club this season.

Eddie Howe has not eased uncertainty over Alexander Isak's Newcastle United future by admitting that there are no ongoing contract talks with the wantaway striker. Isak wants to leave St. James' Park this summer and is eyeing a blockbuster switch to Liverpool, who were ready to splash £120million for his signature earlier in the month.

Howe also states no contract talks are currently ongoing with Isak, who still has three years left to run on his Magpies deal. Chronicle Live reported this week that a £200,000-a-week offer had been put to the former Real Sociedad man in the last round of talks.
