Newcastle make Benjamin Sesko bid with Alexander Isak's future ‘complex'
Newcastle have made an official bid to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko after boss Eddie Howe admitted the situation surrounding unsettled star Alexander Isak was 'far from ideal'. All eyes are on St James' Park right now as the Premier League club look to keep the Swedish sharpshooter while also attempting to bring in a big-name striker. The PA news agency understands Newcastle have accelerated talks with Leipzig to sign Sesko – who Manchester United also have in their sights – and submitted an offer reportedly worth up to £69.7million. The development comes after the Magpies rejected a £110m bid for Isak on Friday from Liverpool, who recently beat them to the signing of Frankfurt frontman Hugo Ekitike. Alexander Isak scored in Newcastle's Carabao Cup final win against Liverpool (Owen Humphreys/PA) 'I think from my situation, I am very much removed from everything that is happening back home,' Newcastle boss Howe said on Isak. 'I was made aware that there was a bid yesterday. That bid was turned down all before I even heard about it, so I think there's people back in England dealing with the situation. 'I really don't know what's going to happen next, but from our perspective we still support Alex in every way, and my wish is still that we see him in a Newcastle shirt again.' Isak did not travel to Asia for Newcastle's pre-season tour due to what the club called a 'minor thigh injury', only for talk of his unhappiness to emerge. My wish is still that we see him in a Newcastle shirt again Howe admitted 'you don't know what's going to happen from this point' and, surprisingly, that he found out that the 25-year-old was training with former club Real Sociedad through the media. 'I know where he is, really, through the media, so I think from that perspective it's difficult for me to go into any kind of detail,' the Newcastle boss said. 'The situation is far from ideal and it is quite complex. I think that's all I have got to say.' Howe was speaking at a press conference in Seoul previewing a friendly against Tottenham and was tight-lipped when quizzed on Newcastle's pursuit of Slovenia international Sesko. Newcastle and Manchester United are both pursuing Benjamin Sesko (Bradley Collyer/PA) The manager said 'he can't talk about individual targets' in the wake of reports in the striker's homeland overnight claiming that the 22-year-old wants to move to St James' Park rather than Old Trafford. Newcastle have now reportedly made a 75m euros (£65.4m) bid to Leipzig, with a further 5m euros (£4.3m) in potential add-ons. Howe said: 'We are looking for the best players that we can get. Whatever our target position is, we're looking for the best, so I see all situations open and available to us. 'I feel that's the only way that we're going to get to where we want to go, which is to maximise, and it's quality over quantity. It always has been. Final session out in South Korea. 👊 — Newcastle United (@NUFC) August 2, 2025 'That's always been the way that we try to work and try to recruit, and I think we've done it pretty well to this point. 'It's been a challenging summer, as you know, because we've missed out on various targets for loads of different reasons. 'But we're still very competitive and we're still in there trying to bring very good players to the club and that won't change until the window shuts.'

Keith Andrew picks his Brentford captain - and it's good news for Ireland fans
Keith Andrews has moved to name his Ireland compatriot Nathan Collins as his first Brentford captain. After Christian Norgaard's move to Arsenal last month, the Bees boss needed to find a new skipper. And Andrews has plumbed for 24-year-old Collins to lead his side in the Premier League this season. Collins has become a regular starter for a thriving Brentford side since moving from Wolves in 2013, playing every minute of their League campaign last season. The former Cherry Orchard player said: "It's a massive honour to be captain of this great football club. There have been some great people and footballers before me. "I'm really excited by the challenge of this season and, with your support, it'll be a special campaign." Nathan Collins playing for Brentford against Liverpool (Image:) Andrews, who has been promoted to the head coach role at Brentford after serving as set-piece coach, hailed Collins' leadership qualities. "He's always been a natural leader, he's gained a lot of experience considering the age that he is," Andrews said. "He's developed his professionalism to a new level because he's been involved in this environment for a couple of years and has learnt from some great people. "He communicates very well, he's got really good values, on and off the pitch, and, naturally, players gravitate towards him - he has respect from all the players and staff, which is a key attribute to have." Collins joins fellow Ireland internationals Everton's Seamus Coleman and Burnley's Josh Cullen as club captains for the upcoming Premier League season.
