Liverpool is watching Newcastle's attempt to sign Benjamin Sesko very closely. It could impact the bid to sign Alexander Isak, after an apparent Magpies U-turn.

A lexander Isak returned to Newcastle United on Monday but his future at St James' Park remains uncertain amid interest from Liverpool. The Swede had been training on his own at the complex of former club, Real Sociedad, while his teammates continued their pre-season schedule.

NEWCASTLE have submitted a fresh bid for RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko after getting encouragement that the striker is keen on the move to Tyneside. The Magpies had an initial offer, reportedly worth £65.
