Alexander Isak handed drastic plan to force Liverpool transfer that would ruin Newcastle relationship for good

A drastic plan has been suggested to Alexander Isak by a former Premier League striker for how the wantaway forward can force a move out of Newcastle United to Liverpool.

The Sweden international's future is very much up in the air ahead of the summer transfer window concluding on September 1 on 7pm.

The 27-year-old has been the subject of one of the major transfer sagas this summer and the forward is attempting to try and leave Newcastle and join Premier League champions Liverpool.

Arne Slot's men reportedly had a bid worth £110m rejected by Newcastle at the start of August, with the Magpies seeking a higher fee for a player who is the North East club's record signing when he was bought from Real Sociedad in 2022 for £63m.

Isak scored scored 27 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions last season as Newcastle won the League Cup and he was recently named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year, but did not attend the ceremony in Manchester.

He took to social media to explain his absence and also broke his silence on his future, which this summer has seen him train away from the rest of the Magpies squad after making it clear he wants to leave the club and claiming 'promises' have been broken.

He said: "The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading.

"When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue. That's where things are for me right now - and why change is in the best interest of everyone, not just myself."

Newcastle responded to Isak's statement and denied any commitment was made to let the striker leave this summer, underlining their intention to keep the striker if a certain price for a transfer is not met.

But Isak has now been given a plan of how to force through an exit from St James Park by a former Premier League striker who engineered a move away of his own.

Troy Deeney moved to Watford from Walsall back in 2010 after handing in a transfer request and later moved to Vicarage Road, for whom he scored 140 goals in 419 appearances across more than 11 seasons.

Deeney has explained how he moved from the Saddlers to the Hornets that summer and how he and his agent forced the transfer through.

Deeney was told to take part in training and all the fitness drills, as normal, but as soon as balls were introduced, he would kick them away to disrupt sessions.

And the former Watford striker has suggested Isak do the same if he wants a move to Anfield to materialise, despite the issues this disruptive behaviour might cause.

Writing in The Sun, Deeney said: "How they should have played it is how I played it with my agent when I was pushing to move from Walsall to Watford back in the summer of 2010.

"In private, my agent said to me, 'You’re going to have to kick up a fuss here.

"'You’re going back to training and you’ll do all of the running, but as soon as a ball is involved, you’re going to have to ruin sessions, you’re going to have to kick balls away.

"'But importantly, you can’t let anyone on the outside know what’s going on.'

"It was really hard, you would go home feeling guilty, being a d*** in training for no reason, burning bridges for people you quite like.

"But you’ve just got to remember who you’re doing it for: yourself.

"That’s how Isak will be feeling. This is a career-changing, career-defining move."
