Newcastle are preparing to field bids for star man Alexander Isak this summer – with clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal leading the race.
Football Insider revealed on 16 February Isak is seen as the “perfect” signing by Liverpool manager Arne Slot and the recruitment team at Anfield.
Meanwhile, Reds star Jarell Quansah has been linked with Newcastle ahead of the summer transfer window.
Quansah came through the academy at Liverpooland has featured in the senior side for Jurgen Klopp and Slot.
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – has warned Newcastle off accepting a potential swap deal.
Newcastle should be wary about Quansah-Isak swap, says Wyness
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness insisted Quansah is not the right solution for Newcastle.
“Newcastle may have to refresh their defence, there is a need – but there are questions about Quansah.
“I always worried about clubs offering players as swaps, because you’ve got to wonder why they are prepared to let him go.
“Unless it’s a player you’ve identified as one you want, then I would be questioning it.
“I don’t think Quansah is the right situation for Newcastle, and I think Isak may end up staying at Newcastle – but this summer will be fascinating.
