Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak were involved in the important transfer saga this summer as they acquired moves to Arsenal and Liverpool on the tense edges on the previous side, respectively.
Viktor Gyoker defended the way he and Alexander Isaac attempted to win a transfer this summer. The Arsenal forward took a strike at Sports CP before acquiring a move to the Emirates, but said he would never play for Newcastle again as Isaac advocated a move to Liverpool.
Gyoker refused to participate in the preseason before the start of the season, thus earning trades beyond the season, but Isak was forced to wait until the deadline to move to Anfield. The 25-year-old Swedish striker did not go on tour with the Magpie and was trained by his first team when the season began.
The two weren’t alone as Brentford forward Joane Wissa spent summer training separated from her teammates before signing Newcastle. Such actions firmly put the topic of player power at the forefront of many minds
And Gyoker was asked about the subject of international obligations as he prepares for a match between Slovenia and Kosovo. The Arsenal striker linked with Isaac after arriving late at camp after his loan.
“I haven’t talked much with him because he came. I greeted him and congratulated him, not more,” Gyoker said when asked about Isak.

“Yeah, I said in my situation before, it might be the same,” he said of the dynamics between the players and their clubs. “You don’t know what’s going on (scene). In his case, it’s difficult to talk about it because you don’t know what happened.
“We all play and the clubs have the most power. In many cases it’s difficult for players to choose.
“When it’s a player that’s not wanted at that club, I think it’s totally against it, he has no power, the club can literally do what they want with the players. It’s difficult, but that’s the situation.”
Despite the difficult ending of your time in Newcastle, Isaac sent an inspiring message to your club. Posting on Instagram, Isak said:
“Together, we wrote history and brought the club to where we really belong. It was an honor to be part of our journey to win our first trophy in over 70 years since reaching the Champions League. Thank you forever. Thank you, Newcastle.”
