• Removal vans seen at player’s Ponteland residence

• Striker made to train alone as he seeks exit

The house Alexander Isak has been living in just outside Newcastle is back on the rental market. The striker is trying to secure a move to Liverpool and it emerged on Tuesday that new tenants are being sought.

Removal vans have been sighted at Isak’s Ponteland home, which is understood to have been put on the market some weeks ago. The Sweden international started renting the property after he joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022.

• Liverpool also interested in Parma defender Leoni

• United may have to pay Brighton more than £72m

Liverpool are advancing in talks with Crystal Palace over Marc Guéhi and are considering a move for the Parma centre-half Giovanni Leoni as they attempt to increase Arne Slot’s defensive options.

Guéhi has been Liverpool’s main defensive target all summer and the club were encouraged to make an approach by an admission from the Palace chair, Steve Parish, that it would be better to sell the England international than lose him on a free next summer.
