Newcastle striker Alexander Isak is reportedly seeking a move away from the club, as he was not included in the squad for pre-season friendlies in Asia.

• Isak, who scored 23 Premier League goals last season, is linked with a transfer to Liverpool.
• The 25-year-old has three years left on his contract with Newcastle, having joined from Real Sociedad in 2022.
• Newcastle's head coach, Eddie Howe, expressed confidence Isak would remain with the team despite his absence due to a minor thigh injury.
