Isak joined the Premier League champions as their new No.9 on a long-term contract, which he signed on deadline day in a move for a British record transfer fee of 125 million pounds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Isak made his intentions of leaving Newcastle clear and did not participate in the pre-season. The tensions then arose which led to him being excluded from Eddie Howe's first team training, which ultimately led to Newcastle United's faithful turning on the 25-year-old.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
His first appearance of the season came as a second half substitute in Sweden\u2019s loss against Osovo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Not everyone has the full picture, but that's something for another day. I can't control everything that's said or written. But I'm happy that I became a Liverpool player. It's great that everything was settled before the camp and that I could focus on playing football again,\" Isak said to Swedish media after the loss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It's been a fairly new situation for me, but you always learn and develop mentally off the pitch as well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the end, Newcastle signed Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade as striker options, and thus faciliated Isak's move to Merseyside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton believes the actions of Isak and Yoane Wissa, who joined Newcastle as a replacement for the Swede in a similar manner, were \u2018disgraceful\u2019<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the end, Newcastle signed Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade as striker options, and thus faciliated Isak's move to Merseyside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Eddie Howe with Isak and his career - Isak owes Howe a hell of a lot, but he has treated him with total disrespect. Saying that, Newcastle have signed Wissa who has done the same as what Isak has done,\" said Sutton on BBC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
