ISAK MOVE SPELLS TRANSFER CHAOS

Ferdinand: Downing tools to get to Anfield ‘wrong’

- By Lee Ryder

Legend Les Ferdinand has told Alexander Isak he has plunged the future of Premier League transfers into complete chaos after “downing tools” at St James’ Park this summer.

The former England and Queens Park Rangers star was irked by Isak’s attitude as he forced a £125million move to Liverpool to double his money to £300,000 per week by refusing to play or train in preseason.

Ferdinand feels that Isak’s replacement Yoane Wissa was influenced by the Sweden star’s very public strike, with Brentford eventually forced to sell the DR Congo striker to Newcastle for £55m.

Ferdinand said: “The way it has happened, everybody is talking about what’s next for other players in future windows. Alex has set a precedent now, the way players may go about things.
