Isak standoff with Newcastle benefits no one, says England great Shearer

The impasse between Alexander Isak and his Premier League club Newcastle United is harming both parties, according to the club's former striker Alan Shearer.

Sweden international Isak was the subject of a £110 million ($148.34 million) bid from Liverpool earlier this month according to media reports, and took to social media on Tuesday to accuse Newcastle of breaking promises.

Newcastle responded by saying there had been no commitment to sell the 25-year-old who is under contract until 2028.

The Swedish international, who was the second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League last season, has not featured for the Magpies in preseason or their opening game of the campaign, a 0-0 draw away at Aston Villa on Saturday.

Newcastle host Liverpool on Monday.

"I just think even releasing this statement last night has thrown fuel onto the fire, which he didn't need to do," former Newcastle captain and manager Shearer said in an interview with Betfair.
