Reporter: Newcastle attempts to sign Isaac replacement, the player refuses to play to ensure the deal won t be stopped

reporter Craig Hope posted a social media article about the situation of Newcastle striker Isaac.

Craig Hope wrote: "Issaac listed for sale? No. Will he be sold? Wait and see. These are two different questions and there are different answers."

"Isaac did not refuse to play because he was not on the sale list. He himself, his team and Liverpool can see that Newcastle is already trying to sign a replacement.

He refused to participate in the competition to ensure that Newcastle will not stop the transaction."
