Yet another striker option has appeared for Newcastle United, with intermediaries urging them to push the magpie and sign a fresh alternative to Jorgenstrandlasen.
Howe has spoken about the latest ISAK updates
The rest of Newcastle teams were preparing to fight Liverpool, but Alexander Isaac was left to watch from afar – still on strike, desperate to leave St. James’ park. It is unclear at this stage whether the home visits from Newcastle managers Jamie Reuben and Jacobo Solis have changed to this day, but there is no denying that Eddie Howe suffered again without the Swedes.
Hau repeated the pride he was on his side after the final Gasp defeat against Liverpool. But in the end he was just as annoyed as the rest of St. James Park, and Newcastle couldn’t turn their domination into at least the point.
The manager also answered his weekly questions about the ISAK situation, but admitted that he was not a party talking about the future of the forward, but instead focusing on the teams he has available to him.
“I haven’t talked about this for a long time, and I’m focused on preparing my team and giving all the energy to the players I want to play for Newcastle.
“It’s ideal to clarify, move forward, change the story, because it’s the beginning of the season, you have to focus on what you can get results and control.”
Of course, it appears that Newcastle is about to ultimately sign the striker, so it’s their own incoming call that Newcastle tries to gain control. And on that front, another name appears to be emerging as an alternative option for Jorgenstrandlasen.
As reported by Italian journalist Filippo Biafora, the intermediary is currently pushing Newcastle to sign Artem Dovbyk from As As Roma, and is about to set up a deal between the two clubs. The forward is likely to leave the Italian club this summer, allowing Tyneside people to provide the perfect solution to the problem.
After Jorgenstrandlasen’s £50 million worth of opening offer is rejected, Magpies may return to the drawings multiple times this summer if the next offer does not meet the wolf’s requirements. That’s when Dovbyk could be the ideal option.
League statistics 24/25 | dovbyk | Strandlersen |
|---|---|---|
Min | 2,418 | 2,587 |
the goal | 12 | 14 |
assist | 2 | 4 |
Expected goals | 11.9 | 10.3 |
Compared to last season, Dovbyk and Strand Larsen could only be separated by four goal involvement, which was an underrated season in Ukraine International. Like the rumored target Dusan Vlahovic, he stands at 6 feet 3, and his physical style compares to both the Serbian star and fellow Serie frontman Romeru Rukaku.
Celebrating analyst Ben Matinson’s “powerful left foot,” Dovbyk is undoubtedly expected to be much cheaper than Strand Larsen, while offering the same quality. Unlike the Strandlersen and the Wolf cases, Rome appears to be keen to sanction the deal for their advancement.
