Newcastle boss Eddie Howe remains adamant that star striker Alexander Isak, valued at over £150m, will stay at St. James' Park despite strong interest from Liverpool and Arsenal. Howe even sent Isak home to shield him from transfer speculation before a recent friendly.
Brighton has reportedly rejected two £50m bids for striker Joao Pedro, valuing him at £60m. Chelsea and Newcastle lead the chase for the Brazilian, who scored 10 Premier League goals last season and seeks Champions League football.
