Eddie Howe has admitted Newcastle have a decision to make on Alexander Isak's future but reiterated his hope that the striker will stay at the club this season.

Liverpool have already approached Newcastle over signing Isak for around £120million, but were quickly told that the player is not for sale. Isak's push to leave is expected to soften Newcastle's stance, and Howe has confirmed that the situation continues to evolve.
