Newcastle United have endured a frustrating start to the summer transfer window with just Anthony Elanga joining the club. They have seen interest in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, James Trafford and Hugo Ekitike end in disappointment with all six players moving elsewhere to Premier League rivals.

Alexander Isak is now one of the most sought-after players of the summer. While Newcastle is eager to keep their star striker, both Liverpool and Al Hilal are ready to break transfer records to sign him.

Just how good is Alexander Isak? Can the Magpies compete on all fronts without him? Would paying the Swede upset the Newcastle project?
