It is currently believed that Newcastle United is planning a massive £69 million offer for the attacking star who is welcomed with his “Maverick” qualities.
Newcastle draws blank spaces without Isaac
Magpies, as expected, started their Premier League season with a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa at lunchtime on Saturday, with no indication of Alexander Isaac on the matchday team.
Newcastle was definitely a better team, but they were unable to break down the 10 men in the villa late in the day. Eddie Howe assessed Isaac’s situation before kickoff.
“We have to (we have to forget ISAK) – he’s not with us. We have to focus on who is here and make the most of them. The players know he’s not here.
“I want him to play. I want him to train. I have those conversations (with ISAK) and those details remain private. There’s no change in the situation. My focus is on the front line of Aston Villa and the transfer in terms of getting players – it’s all consuming for me.
Newcastle continues to search for possible Isaac alternatives before it could sell Swedes to Liverpool. And exciting players are linked to travelling to St. James Park.
Newcastle plans a £69 million offer for the star
Newcastle is preparing a £609 million bid for Bournemouth forward Antoine Semegno this summer, according to a report from Spain.
The 25-year-old is reportedly seen as an “ideal” option that will help fill the potential gap Isaac left behind, following two goals against Liverpool on Friday evening.
Semegno could be a grand Newcastle signature if he could make a deal this month with Bournemouth Ace being one of the best wide forwards in the Premier League.
The Ghanaian showed his quality against Champions Liverpool on Friday, not only showing stunning things with two good finishes, but also showed incredible mental resilience after being exposed to racist abuse from the stands.
Semeño feels like a sure bet for Newcastle in terms of success from Newcastle off. Analyst Ben Matinson praises his “Maverick” style attack play.
The striker has reached a point of return as Isak Saga has not trained with his teammates and could alienate himself from them.
Signing Semenyo is primarily a wide forward, so he is not like a similar exchange, but it could go a long way in helping to make up for Isak’s loss.
