Now just after 4pm, the club have put us out of our misery, releasing another couple of photos of players on the pre-season trip. Arguably saving the best until last, Sandro Tonali AND Alexander Isak now confirmed as on the pre-season trip to Austria. The Newcastle United squad are now on their way to Seefeld.

Newcastle are forging ahead with a move for Eintracht Frankfurt's star striker Hugo Ekitike, with reported plans to pair him up front with Alexander Isak rather than as a replacement. Ekitike had an impressive run last season, contributing 22 goals and 12 assists in 48 matches, helping Frankfurt secure a Champions League spot.
