Newcastle United decision finally made about Alexander Isak departure

Newcastle United fans are sick of hearing about Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon potentially leaving St James’ Park.

There has been relentless speculation in the mainstream media about Newcastle United’s top stars, with constant chatter about the Magpies needing to sell.

However, Newcastle are not going to sell their top stars – even if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. That is the club’s stance, with Eddie Howe set to retain the likes of Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes.

They all have long-term contracts, while Newcastle want to hand Isak a new deal on improved terms to further secure his future on Tyneside.

Newcastle United annoyed behind the scenes

While Newcastle plan to hand their superstar striker a new contract, others dream of him playing for a different club. Every club wishes they had Isak, and there is always talk in the media about him moving to a club like Arsenal or Barcelona.

According to the Telegraph, Newcastle United are ‘privately’ irritated by the attempts to unsettle their top stars.

However, the Telegraph add that Newcastle are confident they can retain the services of their best players, whose asking prices will be too high for any potential suitors.

Alexander Isak chat is a compliment to Newcastle United

Newcastle United should take all of this as a compliment. It is a testament to their recruitment and player development that these stars are being hyped up for ‘bigger moves’.

It comes with the territory, and all the Magpies can do is ensure the players in question do not become unsettled. They can do that by performing on the pitch and proving that the likes of Isak and Gordon can achieve their ambitions in the black and white of Newcastle.

Newcastle can also do that by strengthening in the summer.
