Newcastle's new club-record signing could be thrown straight into the deep end 👀 NUFC
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe wants £60million signing Alexander Isak available for the Premier League clash with Wolves on Sunday.GettyIsak has completed his medical on Tyneside but must have been registered by midday on Friday to be eligible for the upcoming match against Wolves.When asked if Isak could be signed in time to play at Molineux, he added: “Yes, fingers crossed. There’s no guarantee with these things because we’re in other people’s hands, but hopefully.
Howe confirmed first-choice striker Callum Wilson will be out for two weeks with a hamstring strain suffered during the 3-3 draw with Manchester City. The Toon manager said:”Naturally with Callum’s injury – which we don’t believe to be serious, by the way, we’re hopeful that Callum will only be out for a couple of weeks – but naturally we acted slightly off that in terms of we were always looking for attacking players, but it changed our focus maybe slightly on the type.
Howe added: “He will add those qualities he has – he has pace, technical ability, dribbling ability, he has got a bit of X-factor about him.However, ex-West Ham assistant Stuart Pearce is not convinced by Isak, having monitored the Sweden striker during his time at the London Stadium.Getty“I’ve got to be convinced by that one and time will tell.
“But in terms of an actual final outcome, I’m very reluctant to lose any important players to the group, so that’s a decision that will be out of my hands, really.”
