I read that too, and i don't know what other speculations he is talking about, Liverpool asked about Isak's availability, of which Newcastle unequivocally said he wasn't for sale. The champions on the other hand have since then moved over to other targets, in the person of Hugo Ekitike and i am almost certain Liverpool will get him. So, i don't know the speculations Howe is talking about, because AFAIK, Liverpool are out of the picture for Isak.
I don't know about the speculations either. Maybe Howe has other ulterior motives.
A lot of readjustment are happening and things are beginning to take shape against the new season ahead. Leicester appoint Cifuentes as new manager -- I'm not sure how that's going to help them but it's big news.
Liverpool open talks to sign Ekitike after being told Isak is not for sale.. The Frankfurt striker has been a given a once in a lifetime opportunity to prove himself worthy of a €100 million release clause.
Man Utd on their latest updates are also fully ready to get into terms with Mbeumo. Pre-seasons will be fun with new faces!
