Eddie Howe conceded that Alexander Isak's future is not fully in his hands as Newcastle United battle to keep their star striker. Isak has not travelled with the rest of Newcastle's squad for their pre-season tour of Asia. The forward, who plundered 23 Premier League goals last season, has reportedly asked to leave the club.

Ramsdale would ultimately spend just one season as Howe’s first-choice goalkeeper, playing 37 of their 38 Premier League matches during the 2019/20 campaign. The Cherries would be relegated from the top-flight at the end of that season with Ramsdale moving on to Sheffield United that summer.
