Newcastle United have endured a frustrating start to the summer transfer window with just Anthony Elanga joining the club. They have seen interest in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, James Trafford and Hugo Ekitike end in disappointment with all six players moving elsewhere to Premier League rivals.

Newcastle is facing up to the prospect of losing star striker Alexander Isak, but without signing Sesko, the most seamless fit on paper, life could get tough.
Newcastle doesn't want to take hasty steps. If Isak departs, the club has a clear plan to reinvest with intelligence, youth, and ambition. Sesko, Barella, and Hincapié would not only fill gaps but also take the team to another competitive level.
Dan Burn has found one small positive to Alexander Isak missing Newcastle United's tour of the Far East as he heaped praise on young gun William Osula while out in South Korea. The Dane, at only 21, is Eddie Howe's most senior central option up top with Isak left at home and Callum Wilson bidding farewell to the Magpies earlier this month.
Eddie Howe has admitted that Alexander Isak’s Newcastle United future is not in his “full control”. Isak has made clear he wants to leave the club this summer with Liverpool previously communicating their interest in a move for the 25-year-old.
Isak helped Newcastle United return to Champions League play and win the EFL Cup while scoring 27 goals and assisting six more in all competitions last season, and that would be a massive addition anywhere that he would potentially land if he does leave the club.
