Alexander Isak has not just one, but two, successful seasons behind him at Newcastle. Last year, he scored 21 league goals in 30 matches, and this season he is second in the top scorer list with 22 goals.

It has generated interest from almost all top clubs in Europe, and several are said to be interested in trying to tie the Swede down during the summer transfer window, including Liverpool, Arsenal and Barcelona.

But it will not be easy. Not only has Newcastle received an economic boost after Saudi Arabia's state investment fund, Pif, took over the club.

Coach Eddie Howe also has no interest in letting the Swede go to a competitor.

I have no crystal ball, so I can't sit here and say what will happen. What I can say, however, is that my firm determination is to try to build the best possible team, and to do that, we cannot lose our best players all the time, he says.

Alexander Isak has a contract with Newcastle until the 2027-28 season.
