The impasse between Alexander Isak and his Premier League club Newcastle United is harming both parties, according to the club's former striker Alan Shearer.

This appeared to be a cryptic reference from Isak to the prospect of talks being held over a new contract last summer. Isak, however, still had four years to run on his deal at the time and discussions were ultimately postponed due to the club's Profit and Sustainability (PSR) concerns.

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak broke his silence over his desire to leave the club this summer, posting on social media on Tuesday that promises had been broken and his trust in the organization had been lost.
