Newcastle remain determined to keep Alexander Isak and will not be bullied into a sale, amid some worrying claims made by the Liverpool target's agent.

With Liverpool wrapping up a deal for Ekitiké worth a reported €95 million (£82.3 million, $110.5 million), the Reds appear to be out of the race for Isak this summer, while Newcastle’s mammoth price tag of at least £120 million ($161 million) drastically limits the number of teams capable of funding such a deal.
