Newcastle’s stance on selling Alexander Isak to Liverpool after Hugo Ekitike transferNewcastle target Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike to partner Alexander Isak, not replace him. The 23-year-old’s impressive 22 goals and 12 assists last season attracted interest from top clubs. Newcastle face a potential £86m release clause, exceeding their record Isak fee, raising financial concerns. Despite this, Eddie Howe is keen to reshape tactics for both strikers.
