No-Show Swedish-Eritrean forward Alexander Isak could be hit with fine at Newcastle United

Swedish-Eritrean attacker Alexander Isak is in trouble at Newcastle United after missing the club’s season opener against Aston Villa.

Isak has been pushing for a move away from Newcastle United in the current transfer window, with Liverpool expressing keen interest in the attacker.

Newcastle have been pushing for Isak to sign a new with an improved contract that would include a mandatory sale clause for next season. But Isak himself is firmly against this idea and has staged a real boycott against the club.

He was not available when Newcastle United shared the spoils with Aston Villa in Premier League opener on Saturday as he continue to push for a move this summer.

The Magpies plans to discipline Isak for breaching club rules. As stipulated in his contract, Isak is expected to receive a fine from the Premier League club.

Isak joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022 for €70 million and has since played 109 matches, scoring 62 goals and providing 11 assists.
