Virgil Vandic has welcomed Alexander Isaac as one of the toughest forwards to face in the Premier League as Newcastle forwards continue to push for his move to Liverpool
Virgil van Dyke argues that Alexander Isaac is one of the toughest enemies as Liverpool continues to see the Newcastle frontman.
The Swedes are trying to force an exit from St. James Park and made it clear that he will not play for the club again. That would be a major blow to the Isak Magpie, essential to its recent success.
He scored against Vandik and Liverpool as Newcastle claimed success in the Carabao Cup last year. This is the first domestic trophy in 70 years. Isaac also notched a Premier League draw with the Reds. That means he found the net four times against the Mersey Cider on six outings.
And its quality was unaware of Van Dik, who was quized by the most difficult striker he had to compete in the Premier League. It is unclear whether he was giving Isaac a deliberate tribute, but he put the Swedes in the top bracket.
He told Cecil Thomas during a live stream on Tiktok:

Isaac was not present at Manchester’s PFA Awards, but was named Premier League Team of the Year, as voted by his fellow peers after a stellar season in Newcastle. Only Mohamed Sarah outperformed him, but the Swedes took him away on Tuesday night as an opportunity to break his silence.
The Striker said: “I stayed quiet for a long time while others were talking, and that silence allowed people to push their version of the event.
Newcastle has already rejected bids from Liverpool in the £110 million region, demanding much higher fees. It said they insisted that their Starman would not be sold. Isak is thought to be angry after the promise to see his contract was made U-turn and now demands that he is allowed to leave.
He argued: “When a promise is broken and trust is lost, the relationship cannot last. That’s what happens to me now.
