Newcastle's Alexander Isak continues to face scrutiny as Jamie Carragher points out two major concerns, drawing a comparison with an ex-Liverpool striker’s struggles

Aston Villa are in talks over the signing, which could spark a transfer merry-go-round involving Alexander Isak.

Alexander Isak's idol is Thierry Henry and despite the pair sharing similarities at Arsenal and Newcastle, there's one thing that differs amid Liverpool interest.

It has also been reported that Liverpool will eventually return with a second bid, though Newcastle will not sanction Isak’s exit until they have landed one or two strikers to fill the void left by the forward, while they appear to be bullishly refusing to budge on their asking price.

Newcastle United and Sweden international striker Alexander Isak has made his pick between Liverpool, Real Madrid and Al-Hilal.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has paid Alexander Isak the ultimate compliment. Van Dijk attended the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) awards gala in Manchester on Tuesday and was asked to name the trickiest opponents to defend against in the Premier League.
