Alexander Isak has turned his head to a potential step after Liverpool this summer.
According to the former Newcastle manager Alan Pordew, who has talked about the future of Isak in the club.

The Swedish striker was excluded by manager Eddie Howe from the recent friendly defeat of the Magpies against Celtic.
And Howe further revealed that he had actually sent his star home from Scotland due to persistent transfer rumors.
Last week, Liverpool Newcastle informed that they were willing to make an offer for Isak if they were to change their “unspeaked” attitude.
But the Reds have now agreed to commit Hugo Ekitens from Frankfurt instead and to overthrow themselves to the conversations of Hijack Toon.
It leaves a step for Isak now unlikely, but could the interest of the Premier League master unsettled him?
Pordew thinks that.
“If it is read between the lines, the person concerned looks very similar,” said the ex-Newcastle boss about talk sports.
“Eddie took a reasonable step and simply took him out of the equation … whether he was affected or not, we can speculate about it. What I know is that it was a clever step to get him out of the equation.”
Pordew continued: “If the players want to move and make them fundamentally clear with their actions. It can cause a problem.
“Was Isak’s head shot? I might say, yes.

“So you have a battle now. I think Eddie is trying to play it down, but it won’t disappear until Liverpool runs your business.”
This business is supposed to sign ekastens, and if this is complete, interest in Isak will probably disappear.
But after he has left him, Howe has to find the right way to get it back into the wrinkle.
Talksport understands that Isak is not planned to take part in the friendly against Celtic, but so that the manager appeals to his transmission speculation, it must have been discussed between the two.
It may be some difficulties before the new season, but Pordew believes that the Newcastle squad is not being harassed too much.
When asked how he would deal with the situation, he said: “It is up to you [the manager]They manage the changing room.

“You have to call it the way you see. What you find is when players are usually attacked by the larger clubs, the other players, the older players on the player’s side.
“Regardless of what the association decides, they all want to progress in their career. They all want a larger contract, a larger club.”
“The Liverpool things, I would suggest that the other players are not so disturbed,” added Pordew.
“You will obviously want him to stay … and you will think that one day you could be, so you want to see that the club treats a player correctly.
“You have to find a good balance between the player that it is your duty to play and to suspend one in order to make it easier for everyone.”
Newcastle will go to Asia later this week, and Isak is expected to be part of the traveling squad.
However, his minutes can be limited after a long break in the summer of international duty.
The magpies will play Arsenal and Tottenham on their tour, with a collision with the Gunners on Sunday.
Then start your Premier League season on August 16.
A hard trip to the Aston Villa begins the new campaign, and Isak will probably lead the line unless there is a transfer application.
