Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak arrived at the training ground today and has continued to work away from the rest of the first-team, according to Sky Sports.
Isak made it clear last night that he wants to leave the St James’ Park club, breaking his silence on the transfer stand-off on social media.
The Magpies replied hours later, hinting that an exit is not on the cards this summer. Newcastle also said they will welcome him back to the team whenever he is ready.
However, spotting him for the first time at their facilities since going public with a statement on his future last night means nothing.
The Daily Mail have uploaded pictures of the former Real Sociedad star on their website, and he does not look pleased to be back in training.
Isak is only fulfilling the terms of his current contract and will be looking for ways to get out.
He has burned the bridges with the Newcastle fans, and it will be intriguing to see how they will welcome him back if he stays beyond this summer.
The Sweden international could submit a transfer request, but it is unlikely to change anything as Newcastle have no plans to sell him if a replacement is not secured.
Newcastle want Yoane Wissa, but Brentford are playing hardball, rejecting a bid totalling £40 million from them this afternoon.
There is just over one week left in the transfer window, and they have very little time left to get a deal for a number nine done.
They will keep trying all they can to sign one or two forwards before the deadline, but their chances are looking slimmer each passing day.
