Liverpool remain interested in the possibility of smashing the British transfer record by landing Alexander Isak from Newcastle and are believed to be preparing a huge offer. The sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich will be used to boost their attempts to sign Isak.

Alexander Isak is facing a crucial few days as Liverpool prepare to approach Newcastle over a transfer, while Arsenal turn their attention to Eberechi Eze and Manchester United chase a striker

Eddie Howe has issued an update on Alexander Isak's immediate future following Newcastle United's pre-season loss to Arsenal in Singapore.

Arsenal hold an interest in Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze, who would help solve that issue of having more creativity from the left. The 27-year-old is also capable of producing the “magic moments” that Arteta has claimed his team lacks. For several reasons, Isak joining Liverpool would ramp up the pressure on Arsenal to sign Eze.

If any club has the funds to pull off this deal, it is Al Hilal. Not only are they one of the four clubs owned by Saudi Arabia’s Private Investment Fund (PIF), but they also benefit from the support of billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who can help underwrite exceptional deals such as this one.

Liverpool have already approached Newcastle over signing Isak for around £120million, but were quickly told that the player is not for sale. Isak's push to leave is expected to soften Newcastle's stance, and Howe has confirmed that the situation continues to evolve and that contract talks have been abandoned.

The conversation around striker Alexander Isak has dominated Newcastle's time in Singapore. After Sunday's 3-2 defeat by Arsenal, Magpies manager Eddie Howe said "nothing had changed" with Isak's situation and there was no chance of him flying out to join his team-mates during the trip to Asia.
