Newcastle United are doing all they can to sign a striker before the end of the summer transfer window, with a £60million swoop planned.

Newcastle could reportedly move for Dusan Vlahovic as Juventus hope for a late summer bid amid the ongoing Alexander Isak saga. The Serie A giants are reportedly keen to offload the Serbian striker, hoping to balance their financial books with a €38 million sale.

Newcastle are under pressure to sign a new striker this summer. Callum Wilson was released following the expiration of his contract, but Eddie Howe’s side were forced to start the season without a recognised centre forward after Isak began his own protest over his desired move to Liverpool.

Here’s the facts: Isak is one of the hottest central strikers in world soccer and he’s only 25. He’s under contract for three more years. He claims he was promised a dramatically increased contract by Newcastle, who subsequently changed up their executives and then yanked the promise. Liverpool want him, and he wants Liverpool.

Isak was not present at Tuesday's PFA awards, where he was the only Newcastle player to be named in the Premier League team of the season.

Newcastle United have officially replied to Alexander Isak’s Instagram post, in which he accused the club of 'broken promises' and declared his desire to leave.In a statement published just hours

Alexander Isak has been defender by his national team coach who said 'Alex is a great guy and very professional' despite him going on strike.
