Liverpool are now closing in on convincing Newcastle United to agree the transfer of Alexander Isak.

The Reds have already had one bid rejected by Newcastle this summer for the services of the Swedish international.

But that is not going to deter Liverpool from quelling their interest in Isak. Richard Hughes has identified him as his dream target for the summer window and he knows he still has a good chance at bringing him to Anfield.

Despite Newcastle’s reluctance to allow Isak to leave, the Swede has made it clear that he sees his future elsewhere. More specifically, he sees his future at Liverpool.

That strong desire and Isak’s actions to train in Spain rather than in Newcastle’s own facilities on Tyneside after missing their tour to Asia make his intentions clear and will force Newcastle’s hands.

It has already forced them to react.

They are making moves to source replacements for Isak. As Craig Hope from the Daily Mail said on his YouTube channel, it’s only after these moves that the club would then allow Isak to leave.

And now it seems like that could be a step closer.

Newcastle’s primary targets seem to be Benjamin Sesko and Yoane Wissa.

Both of them now look likely to end up at Newcastle, putting Liverpool within inches of being able to agree a deal for Isak.

In the English media Sesko’s decision still seems up in the air. However, back in his homeland, Slovenian outlet Delo has claimed that Sesko has already agreed to join Newcastle.

The only aspect that remains is the Magpies agreeing a deal with RB Leipzig. Although this appears to be quite close as well.

Once Sesko signs, the doors will open for Liverpool to sign Isak.

But there’s still one condition to meet. Newcastle want to sign at least two strikers to replace Isak.

The other striker in the club’s sight is Wissa from Brentford. After losing their manager and several of their key players, Brentford have been reluctant to sell Wissa.

However it seems like their stance has changed. After Sky Sports reported that Wissa decided not to play in Brentford’s friendly this weekend, talkSPORT has now claimed that Brentford have changed their stance on their player leaving the club.

They are now open to selling Wissa, which is another significant boost for Liverpool in this never ending chain to secure Isak.

Nonetheless, it seems like things are heading in the right direction. Liverpool are closer and closer in their dream to sign Isak.

Right now it feels like a matter of when, not if. With Newcastle closing in on their targets, an agreement for Isak is just around the corner.
