ALEXANDER THE WAIT!

NEWCASTLE fear Liverpool are ready to play the same waiting game that once landed Virgil van Dijk in their move for £150million-rated Alexander Isak.

The Premier League champions have indicated they are prepared to park their interest in the Swedish international striker after wseeing a £110m bid rejected by the Toon.

Isak has set his sights on a move to Merseyside and has been using the training facilities at former club Real Sociedad while his teammates are on a preseason tour of Asia after missing the trip with a minor thigh injury.
