Chai! This football wahala no be small! Alexander Isak, the hot striker wey skill dey shine pass for Newcastle, don waka enter serious palava as Liverpool don land dem £110 million bid wey Newcastle sharp sharp reject. No be say dem no wan collect am, but dem dey stand gidigba for dem asking price of £150 million! Talk about making am rain! (You fit just imagine the football market na wetin dem dey call ‘market hustle’.)
Isak now dey train solo from the first team after e tell Newcastle say make dem allow am check other options. You sef sabi say e no fit limelight for this kind drama wey dey unfold just before Premier League season kick off this weekend.
Eddie Howe, wey be Newcastle head coach, don talk say all dis matter no change. Dem don tell Isak make e stay away from the team, and dem wan focus on the players wey dey show face. Howe clear say na the players wey dey inside the camp matter for this weekend match against Aston Villa. (Wetin be more painful than being unwanted? You don see as dem dey treat am like side chick wey no fit show face for public!)
Meanwhile, Isak don miss pre-season tour go Asia and no show for any friendly matches. As e dey train alone, e go miss the opening match this Saturday, wey dey important as na where dem go show wetin dem get for the new season. Howe don talk say make dem shift focus from Isak because na him own wahala go disturb dem—’E no dey with us, so we gatz manage who we gatz.’ (Wetin be better than milking cow that no dey give milk! E tough!)
Wetin happen wey make Isak go dey explore options? Different rumors don fly around, but wetin be sure na say Liverpool wan bring am come Anfield. Liverpool don sabi say dem need fresh legs for dem attack after dem waya lose Dem star players like Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz. (If Liverpool feel buy like children dey buy suya, wetin we dey talk about? They dey serious oh!)
As Newcastle dey hear the noise, dem dey look sharp for who dem go follow sign, like Yoane Wissa from Brentford. Na wah! If dem no fit get a good replacement for Isak, e go hard for dem to let am waka. Na two signings dem need before dem fit free the striker. E be like say Newcastle try arrange dem football team like e be picnic—if dem no fit gather dem beans and rice, dem no go fit chop!
Howe sabi say Isak fit still come back after all dis drama but him must gree for that to happen. ‘I still believe say we fit adjust am back to the team, but e depend on wetin e wan do.’ As the manager, he dey hope we go fit use this weekend to build up who dey present, instead of who dey check out. (Na wetin you go find, na wetin you go sell as dem say!)
Now, we dey close to the Premier League opener wey dey vex Newcastle fans. Howe be like say na everything don scatter, especially as transfer window dey near to close and Isak dey play eye service. If e no gree play ball again, na wetin be the next move for how Newcastle go move for this season.
At the end of the day, Newcastle fans know say the club dey bigger than any one player, but as dem dey watch this whole drama unfold, you no go blame dem for feeling some kind of way. Na so football be! But no mind, we go dey watch how dis whole saga go play out as we enter the new season. E fit turn fresh gist any moment!
