Howe confident Isak will stay at Newcastle after striker left out of thrashing by Celtic
Howe: ‘I’m confident he’ll be here at start of the season’
Celtic canter to 4-0 win in friendly on Saturday
Eddie Howe is confident Alexander Isak will stay at Newcastle this summer despite omitting the striker from a pre-season thrashing by Celtic because of speculation over his future.
Isak was left out of the 4-0 defeat at Celtic Park on Saturday despite being fit to play. The Newcastle manager claimed the decision was taken to manage the striker’s minutes in pre-season, but also as a consequence of recent transfer speculation.
