Main man Isak is giving Magpies Swede dreams
NEWCASTLE will "send out a message to everyone" by keeping Alexander Isak this summer and building a team around him, according to Shay Given.
Eddie Howe's team go to struggling champions Manchester City tomorrow in pursuit of a return to the Champions League.
Toon are already into next month's Carabao Cup final and host Brighton in the FA Cup fifth round in pursuit of a first domestic trophy since 1955.
The undoubted star is Swedish striker Isak, who has attracted the interest of Arsenal and Barcelona after netting 19 goals this season.
He gave the Gunners, who desperately need a forward, a masterclass in the role in the Carabao Cup semi-final. And former Newcastle keeper Given said: "Isak is brilliant. He is the talk of the Toon.
"His name is on everybody's lips because he is playing so well.
"William Saliba and Gabriel are two of the best defenders in the Premier League and even in the first leg in London, they couldn't deal with him.
