Liverpool's summer transfer splurge has not yet reached its conclusion but their pursuit of Newcastle's Alexander Isak shows no sign of reaching a conclusion

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak has gone AWOL to force through a transfer to Liverpool, according to a report. The Sweden international caused outrage and consternation on Tyneside last week by informing Newcastle of his desire to explore his options in this window.

Alexander Isak has demanded £300,000-a-week to stay at Newcastle with Liverpool poised to make a bid. According to the Daily Mail, the star remains 'furious' after former sporting director Paul Mitchell scrapped contract talks with him last year.
