Newcastle’s leading goalscorer sure seems to be trying to force a move to the Premier League champions, leaving the Magpies in desperate need of a striker ... or two.

And now transfer expert Romano has revealed that he believes the chances of Isak joining Liverpool are now set at “60 per cent” with a “40 per cent” chance he stays at St James’ Park.

Fabrizio Romano, speaking to DAZN this week, fully opens the door for Jackson to still leave Chelsea this window and mentions movements with two Premier League clubs. He simply states on Jackson:

It is difficult to recall a more disastrous summer from a Premier League club than this effort from Newcastle. But it is easy to imagine it getting worse.
