Swedish striker Alexander Isak has opened up on his strained relationship with his current club, admitting that broken promises have left him with no choice but to seek change.
In a strongly worded statement, Isak revealed that the club had long been aware of his stance, contrary to suggestions that the issues had only recently come to light.
“The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time,” Isak said. “To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading.”
The 24-year-old Newcastle United forward further explained that trust had been irreparably damaged.
“When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can’t continue. That’s where things are for me right now and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself.”
Isak, who has become a key figure in both the Premier League and the Swedish national team, has been heavily linked with top European clubs amid ongoing transfer speculation. His statement will undoubtedly fuel further speculation about a possible exit before the transfer window closes.
