'You want to keep your best players'

Newcastle United should do all in their power to keep striker Alexander Isak. After the Magpies' latest financial report showed revenue gains compared with the previous year, chief executive Darren Eales reiterated the club's intention to be at "the top table" by retaining their best players. Isak is the third top scorer in the Premier League this season, on 19, only behind Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Manchester City's Erling Haaland.
