The Sweden striker’s form helped Newcastle end a 70-year wait for a domestic trophy and made Champions League football next season a real possibility.

Liverpool have been crying out for a central striker in recent windows with Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota both failing to make that position their own. However, Salah's goals have masked the club's lack of a line-leading goalscorer of Isak's quality.

According to CaughtOffside, Newcastle United have temporarily paused contract talks with Isak after he didn’t accept their initial proposals. The Magpies are now set to reassess and plan their next move amid growing interest from Arsenal and Liverpool in the Swedish striker.
