JD McDonagh shocks Newcastle crowd
(Video) WWE vs Premier League: WWE Star Fires Shot at Newcastle
The transfer tug of war between Liverpool & Newcastle United over Alexander Isak took unexpected twist when WWE superstar JD McDonagh stole the spotlight inside the wrestling ring.
During 6 man tag match in Newcastle, the city where Isak currently plays, McDonagh stunned fans by stripping off his top to reveal Liverpool shirt with Isak’s name on the back. The crowd erupted in disbelief & excitement at the symbolic gesture.
Known for his passion for Liverpool, McDonagh later shared video of the moment on X with the caption : "Free Isak" The move was widely seen as cheeky dig at Newcastle’s refusal to let the Swedish striker leave.
Liverpool remain determined to sign the 24 year old, but Newcastle continue to demand more than the 110 million sterling pound already offered. The saga's become one of the hottest stories of the summer window.
With the transfer deadline looming and the Premier League season kicking off, pressure's mounting on Newcastle. Liverpool, meanwhile have already strengthened their attack by signing Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt but Isak remains their top target.
