TBR Football understands that Benjamin Sesko is top of Eddie Howe’s wishlist of replacements for Alexander Isak. Isak was omitted from Newcastle’s pre-season squad, which the Tyneside club claim was due to a ‘minor’ injury.

Eddie Howe gives a clear explanation for Alexander Isak’s absence during Newcastle United’s 4-0 pre-season loss to Celtic.
