Newcastle, England – E be like say football gist don turn to drama as Liverpool don bid £110 million plus add-ons for Alexander Isak, but Newcastle no wan gree sell am (no be small wahala). Chief Eddie Howe, di Newcastle coach, don talk say di matter still dey remain di same and dem need to focus on di players wey dey available for di Premier League opener against Aston Villa on Saturday.
Isak dey train far from di first team, and this one no go sweet am because e go miss di match for Saturday (na serious flex nobody wan carry last). Howe don confirm say dem talk about di matter, but e still dey maintain say di striker need to chill as dem dey try sort things out for di transfer window wey don dey slow like snail.
“We go need to forget about Isak now, him no dey with us, make we face di players wey dey play and get di best out of dem,” Howe talk. Na based on dis dilemma, Isak don refuse to participate in any friendly matches. Last last, dem rejected di juicy offer from Liverpool, saying dem no fit sell am unless dem see £150 million and dem fit bring in two new strikers wey be boss.
But wetin wey dey happen with Isak no be small. E don tell Newcastle say he wan explore im options, wey mean say di guy no carry dem matter for mind again. Howe don still dey believe say Isak sabi say im success no fit happen without di team and fans. E say, “Alex know say he no go fit achieve all dis without im teammates and supporters” (so dem be like family for am o).
While all dis drama dey unfold, Newcastle dey prepare to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford like replacement for Isak, but dem still no gree for di deal till dem finalize di agreement between di two clubs. Wissa, don dey ready to settle personal terms with Newcastle once dem agree on how much dem go pay.
As di clock dey tic for transfer window, Howe really dey focus on Aston Villa match. He sabi say di outcome of Isak matter fit change di entire outlook of di season but wetin him fit do? Na di players wey dey available for him to select now be di priority.
Howe don still talk say he believe say di relationship wey e and Isak get fit make dem come back together if Isak eventually decide to stay. He talk say, “We go need to talk and make things clear, but make we focus on di match against Aston Villa first” (na true talk, but this drama no go finish soon).
All dis transfer wahala dey happen as Newcastle dey strategize how to improve dem squad after last season. Dey need to make sure say dem no carry last for di league again. No be only Isak dem dey eye, dem still dey look for fresh blood to fit replace di outgoing striker Callum Wilson.
As for Liverpool, dem don hold small, no be all dis di gist wey dey fly around di transfer market like fly wey wan spoil food. Dem prefer Isak, but Howe don make am clear say he no dey go anywhere until di price right. Na so dis football matter be, e no get as e go end, but fans dey watch as di drama unfold.
