We know why Alexander Isak hasn’t handed in a transfer request to Newcastle United – Ian Dennis | OneFootball

Ian Dennis has been talking about Newcastle United and Alexander Isak.

The BBC Radio 5 Live commentator with some strong views on the subject.

Ian Dennis has really good insight into both Newcastle United and the club’s fans, having covered the club back in the day when working for BBC Newcastle.

Plus of course since then in a more general sense as he has risen to become the Chief Football Reporter for BBC Radio 5 Live.

Ian Dennis talking about the Alexander Isak situation and in particular, posing the question (and answering it!) of why the striker hasn’t put in a transfer request to Newcastle United…

“Alexander Isak has behaved like a spoilt child and I think he wants his cake and he wants to eat it.

“And I think he’s shown a great level of disrespect to Newcastle United and in particular the supporters who’ve idolised him.

“He’s tarnished his reputation.

“I can’t understand, if he wants the move as badly as it would appear, why has he not handed in a transfer request?

“And we know the reasons why, because of the financial ramifications that he would forsake if that was to happen.

“But I just think that he’s been badly advised and I wouldn’t at all be surprised if after that (Newcastle v Liverpool) game he goes for somewhere in the region of £130m, that the deal is done.

“I just, I can’t see a way for him to stay.
