Alexander Isak, 25, accuses Newcastle of having "broken promises". The striker is rumored to be on his way to leave the club for league competitor Liverpool. Newcastle has dismissed the accusations and denies that Isak was promised a transfer.

Now the Swede gets no playing time.

It's not a good situation for anyone. Isak is a humble, calm and happy guy. I don't recognize Isak. Something very bad has happened. He wants to force his way out, it's a difficult situation, says Ljungberg in Viaplay.

Expert colleague Peter Schmeichel agrees with Ljungberg.

I don't recognize Isak either. I think he has bad advisors. If he had a good agent, they would have written a clause that helps the player to leave.

Newcastle faces Liverpool on Monday evening in the Premier League, a match that is currently underway.
