The tide is turning when it comes to Alexander Isak’s Newcastle United future.

The forward is relentlessly linked with a move away from St James’ Park, with the world’s best clubs wishing that Alexander Isak was theirs.

Arsenal and Liverpool want Isak, but there appears to be a growing acceptance that they will not be able to get him.

That will delight Toon supporters, who are hoping that the club can do more than just hold on to their top stars this summer.

Liam Delap’s representatives react to Newcastle United interest

On top of retaining Isak, the Magpies want to sign another striker.

Newcastle are interested in Liam Delap, but it appears that a deal might not be possible. It has been reported that Delap wants to be first choice wherever he goes, which will not be on offer at Newcastle if Isak remains at the club.

According to the Daily Mail, that is why Newcastle United are very unlikely to sign Delap.

They report that the 22-year-old’s ‘camp’ are of the belief that Isak is staying at St James’ Park. In turn, that would mean that Delap’s £30million release clause is unlikely to be activated by Eddie Howe’s side.

Given how well Delap has done this season, that is a shame. However, it is a deal that Toon fans will gladly miss out on if it means Isak is staying put.

Newcastle United chairman on course to get his Alexander Isak wish

It is not just Delap’s representatives who think Isak is staying at Newcastle United.

The Daily Mail add that various people within transfer circles are of the belief that the 25-year-old is not going to be sold.

Given how well he has been playing, the hope has been that Isak will simply cost too much money for his suitors. With a fee of £150million being floated, it seems that hope could now become reality.

That will be music to the ears of everyone at Newcastle United, including PIF chief and chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan.

It was recently reported that Al-Rumayyan does not want to sell Isak, and it appears that he is edging closer towards getting his wish.
