Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has offered his perspective on the situation of star striker Alexander Isak, whose future at St James’ Park has been the subject of speculation.
While some reports suggest that Isak could be tempted by a move away amid transfer interest from Europe’s elite, Shearer believes the Swedish forward still has plenty to give in black and white.
