Well, here we go again—the summer transfer window’s soap opera is heating up, and the latest episode stars none other than Isak, Newcastle’s suave Swedish striker. Eddie Howe, cool as ever, insists the club’s goal machine will remain in black and white next season. But when your top scorer gets benched in a 4-0 friendly drubbing because of “speculation,” fans understandably start sweating harder than a Geordie in Singapore.
Isak to Liverpool? Maybe Don’t Pack His Bags Just Yet
British media—ever the fire-starters—have linked Liverpool with a swoop for the 25-year-old. And let’s face it, when a lad scores 23 league goals (only outscored by Mo Salah!), the sharks start circling. But Howe was quick to shut down the hysteria, stating Isak’s omission was purely to avoid distraction. Translation? “Don’t read too much into it, mate.”
It’s just the Premier League equivalent of a classic mind game: hold your stars’ feet to the fire while writers run wild with clickbait. So while Isak flew home instead of warming a seat in the stands, his gaffer stood tall, declaring, “I’m confident he’ll still be ours come September.”
Isak’s Stats Don’t Lie—And Neither Does Loyalty (We Hope)
Let’s not forget, Isak has 62 goals in 109 games since joining from Real Sociedad in 2022. That’s not just form—it’s a love letter to the Toon Army. And with Newcastle set for another Champions League campaign, why would he bail now?
But Howe, ever the pragmatist, admits nothing is set in stone. “It’s hard to give 100% clarity,” he said—because of course it is. This is football, not tax law.
Conclusion: Keep Calm and Trust Him?
So will Isak stay? Odds say yes. Heart says please. For now, Newcastle fans should take a deep breath, trust the process, and maybe block any account with the words “Here we go” in the handle.
After all, the only thing more dangerous than losing a striker like Isak… is losing your head in silly season.
