Manchester City’s Bold Move for Livramento Highlights Strategic Defensive ShiftManchester City have made a firm statement of intent with a renewed and significantly strengthened bid for Newcastle

Newcastle United has struggled to land its top targets this summer and could now lose Alexander Isak to a Premier League rival.

Max Clark has signed a one-year contract to remain with Newcastle Falcons for the forthcoming season. Clark initially joined Newcastle on a three-month deal last December, which was subsequently extended until the end of the campaign. The 29-year-old former Bath and Dragons player scored two tries in his 11 appearances for the Falcons.

Two of last season's top-five finishers in the Premier League meet Sunday at Singapore National Stadium in Kallang, as Arsenal and Newcastle United clash well away from the United Kingdom.

Alexander Isak's wish to quit Newcastle can be traced back to summer 2024 with three factors now cited as reasons behind the Liverpool target's unhappiness.

The Newcastle United academy graduate has only played at Elland Road in front of fans once. It was the night in January 2022 when he replaced an injured Joelinton before half-time, the night Jonjo Shelvey sealed a smash-and-grab away win for Eddie Howe’s visitors with a 75th-minute free kick.

A few weeks can make a huge difference in evaluating a club's season outlook, and the flurry of reports regarding star striker Alexander Isak have put a worrying cap on a troubling fortnight at Newcastle United.

Newcastle United are considering Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen as a potential Alexander Isak replacement, Manchester City want defender Tino Livramento and Bayern Munich resume talks with Liverpool to sign Luis Diaz.
