Eddie Howe - The striker, whose existing deal runs until 2028, has reportedly asked to explore a move away amid links to Liverpool.

Howe also states no contract talks are currently ongoing with Isak, who still has three years left to run on his Magpies deal. Chronicle Live reported this week that a £200,000-a-week offer had been put to the former Real Sociedad man in the last round of talks.

Liverpool have previously communicated their interest in Isak and over doing a deal in the region of £120million.
