by Newcastles new 55 million pounds, which Anthony Elanga signed, insisted that Alexander Isak is “super focused” in training, but the wing player has a number of invitations to predict exactly how long his Swedish teammate intends to stay part of Eddie Howe’s Quad.
Elanga’s arrival in Tyneside Last week together with intensive speculation came together that Liverpool prepared a GBP 130 million GBP for Isak. Although Newcastle has repeated repeatedly that they are determined to maintain their valuable center forward, and the Anfield Board in advanced negotiations on the signing of the Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekikats, the thoughts of Isak about the future remain unknown.

“It will always be noise for a player of Alex ‘Stature,” said Elanga when he relaxed after a morning training session in Newcastle’s Camp in Austria. He spoke publicly for the first time since he entered Nottingham Forest. “But he always stays super focused. He is one of the best attackers in the world, but he is currently a Newcastle United player.”
When Newcastle made an offer for the speculation of Ekastens at the beginning of this week, Isak reinforced that Isak was able to travel to St. James’ Park exit, but the club claimed Howe’s plan to play the Swedes alongside the France-U21 international. Now, among other things, the club is researching a potential attempt to recruit Brentfords Yoane Wissa in order to switch between the partnership and understuding of Isak.
But since Tottenham also dealt with Wissa and some members of the Hierarchy of Newcastle that the Democratic Republic of Congo would have a limited resale value at the age of 28, each transfer after completion is a way.

ISAK is contractual by 2028 and has not yet given a great enthusiasm for a longer deal, which is expected to strive for a step next summer.
“Whenever I talk to Alex, it’s always about good things,” said Elanga diplomatically. “About what my family is and what his family is. I always try to concentrate on the present. But this mentality, which Alex showed in training, is unsurpassed and I look forward to continuing to train with him.
“For me, he is the best striker in the world and also an amazing person that I can always rely on to make advice. He is always there to help myself. I appreciate him very much.
“Alex, being here is incredible, so of course he played a role in being newcastle, but also had Sandro [Tonali]Bruno [Guimarães]Joelinton and Anthony Gordon. They all played a major role in coming here. You have this winning mentality. “

Elanga believes that “everything is possible” because the Carabao Cup owners are preparing for a Champions League campaign. “I want to present my talent,” said the 23-year-old. “I’m Pacey and directly. I can play on both sides, I can play as a striker. I can use both feet. I have a lot of weapons.
“I know that the gaffer and the employees can bring my game to another level here. What we want to achieve how we want to play, it is perfect. What we build here is unique and special. As soon as I knew about Newcastle’s interest, it was a child’s play.”
Howe has long been impressed by a player who worked on his left foot during the Lockdown to become two feet. “I didn’t rush a saying where I am precise,” said Manchester United’s former winger. “It is a French proverb, Precis Pas Précipité, something I do a lot. I have never rushed anything in my life. The employees and the players here all share similar mentalities.”
Elanga believes that this collective way of thinking will lead to silverware next spring. “We are really on the right track with the players and employees here and the addition of Martin Mark von Midtjyland.
