Alan Shearer has advised Alexander Isak to ‘sack’ his agent after causing a ‘very messy’ situation for the player and Newcastle United.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe remains hopeful Alexander Isak can be reintegrated into the squad, despite the disgruntled striker saying his relationship with the club cannot continue in an explosive midweek post on social media.

Newcastle would go on to hand fresh terms to Anthony Gordon, in October, 2024, but the club's hierarchy repeatedly stressed Isak's situation would be revisited this summer. However, rather than wanting to sign a new deal, Isak has instead wanted out.
