Eddie Howe has told talkSPORT that Newcastle are looking for a resolution to the ongoing Alexander Isak transfer saga. The Swedish striker didn’t feature in the Magpies Premier League opener

The summer has been dominated by the transfer window, and with more than two weeks to go until it closes on September 1, that's not likely to change even with the return of the action on the pitch. Newcastle remain embroiled in a messy situation over Alexander Isak's future, with the Swedish striker unavailable for Saturday's lunchtime kick-off.

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has requested that the club resolve Alexander Isak's situation soon, while backing fans' right to boo the wantaway striker. The Magpies fans were heard hurling an X-rated chant at Isak at Villa Park at full-time after the team's Premier League opener against Aston Villa.

Newcastle felt the absence of wantaway striker Alexander Isak as they were held to a 0-0 draw at 10-man Aston Villa. Isak was left out by boss Eddie Howe as the Sweden international tries to force a move away from St James’ Park this summer.
