Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe is uncertain about the Alexander Isak’s availability for Everton clash after missing a trip to Emirates. Isak, who has netted 17 league goals this season, was left out of the squad for Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal after complaining of groin discomfort.

One of Newcastle United’s priority areas to strengthen in this summer will be their forward line as they look to bolster their options - including keeping hold of Alexander Isak.

We still have three matches to be played in Gameweek 37 but there is already plenty to talk about.

Isak’s wage demands will not be for the faint-hearted. He wants to be paid as much as he could earn elsewhere, which means Newcastle will need to push well above the £200,000-a-week mark. It will need a new wage structure and a ceiling being broken, but when you consider how important he is, the money must be found.

The Gunners ran out 1-0 winners at The Emirates Stadium, with Isak picking up a groin injury in the lead-up to the game. That result means Manchester City still have Champions League football in their own control ahead of the clash with Bournemouth on Wednesday evening and can move above Newcastle with a win.
