With the September 1 transfer deadline fast approaching, several high profile deals are still to be done.<\/p>\n
Undeniably the biggest in the English Premier League is Alexander Isak\u2019s desire to get to Liverpool and end his stand-off with Newcastle United.<\/p>\n
A move if far from certain however, as the Magpies chase a replacement for the wantaway striker.<\/p>\n

What he can give you off and on the ball, the way he finishes, but when you have a player in this type of situation where he wants to leave, it\u2019s good that people are getting upset, because when a player is not good and a club wants him out, I don\u2019t see anyone crying for the player.<\/p>\n \u201cI can understand the fans and the club, but I also can understand him. You always put yourself in a situation as a player where people might not understand if you don\u2019t come to training.<\/p>\n \u201cWe never know the whole story, but all I say is that you cannot put yourself in a situation when you don\u2019t come to train.<\/p>\n \u201cIn an ideal world, the best thing for him and for everybody is if he can leave, but I also do believe that when someone makes a mistake, if he apologises, then we can move on.<\/p>\n \u201cIf he scores goals and he starts to play the same way he played last year, the Newcastle fans will be okay about it.\u201d<\/p>\n Isak absent for Newcastle v Liverpool | 04:50<\/p>\n \u2018EVERY PLAYER HAS A PRICE\u2019: NEWCASTLE PUSH FOR ISAK REPLACEMENT<\/b><\/p>\n Isak\u2019s future may be in the hands of Brentford, or perhaps Wolves, or maybe both.<\/p>\n Following manager Thomas Frank leaving for Tottenham, Bryan Mbeumo\u2019s move to Manchester United and Cristian Norgaard\u2019s to Arsenal, Yoane Wissa wants out of Brentford too.<\/p>\n The 28-year-old has been absent from the Bees opening two games of the Premier League with new manager Keith Andrews saying \u201cit was not right\u201d to include the forward in his squad.<\/p>\n Unlike Isak, the DR Congo international has still been training with Brentford, but he clearly wants out.<\/p>\n The London club do not want to lose another proven goal scorer – Wissa netted 19 goals in the league last season – but they may have to take the money and run.<\/p>\n Newcastle\u2019s initial offer of \u00a335 million (A$72.6m) plus \u00a35 million (A$10.4m) in add-ons was rejected, and Brentford may be able to pry more money out of the Magpies given the Isak situation.<\/p>\n That seems to be the approach Wolves have taken in regard to Jorgen Strand Larsen.<\/p>\n They rejected Newcastle\u2019s initial \u00a350 million (A$103.7m) offer for the Norwegian striker, who scored 14 league goals last season, and then also said no to Newcastle\u2019s second bid of \u00a355 million (A$114.1m).<\/p>\n The 25-year-old scored twice in Wolves\u2019 3-2 Carabao Cup victory against West Ham on Wednesday morning AEST, and Wolves manager Vitor Pereira made it clear that he wants to keep Strand Larsen, although hinted that the club has a price in mind.<\/p>\n \u201cIf it\u2019s my decision, of course. Of course. Because he\u2019s a very important player,\u201d Pereira said on potentially keeping the striker.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not only about the technical and tactical, it\u2019s about the character. He\u2019s a player with character. I can imagine his mind in this moment because he listens to a lot of things, reading a lot of things, and then he keeps the commitment.<\/p>\n \u201cUntil now, Jorgen is our player. We\u2019ll see what happens. I understand football. Football is football. Every player has a price, I believe. Even Messi or Cristiano. I understand football, but for me, he is very, very important for us. We\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n Bruno sends vital penalty into row Z | 00:28<\/p>\n CAN MANCHESTER UNITED COMPLETE THEIR CLEAN OUT?<\/b><\/p>\n Manchester United are yet to earn any money from player exits this transfer window.<\/p>\n Marcus Rashford\u2019s \u00a3325,000-a-week salary (A$674,380) is off the books following his move to Barcelona, but the likes of Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia and Antony, who have all been exiled by manager Ruben Amorim, are yet to find new homes.<\/p>\n United have spent a combined \u00a3200 million (A$416.5 million) on new attacking trio Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, and will be desperate to get some cash coming back in.<\/p>\n AC Milan pulled out of a move for Rasmus Hojlund, but Serie A champions Napoli are reportedly interested in a loan deal.<\/p>\n United set an asking price of \u00a330 million (A$62.25m) to outright buy the striker who scored just four league goals last season. <\/p>\n Garnacho\u2019s management have been in talks with Chelsea, but the two clubs are reportedly around \u00a320 million (A$41.5m) apart on the asking price, according to ESPN.<\/p>\n Sancho was on loan at Chelsea last season, and the Blues backed out of the agreement to make the move permanent.<\/p>\n The 25-year-old winger recently rejected a loan move to AS Roma, holding out for more money.<\/p>\n Antony spent last season on loan at Real Betis, and the Spanish side were keen to make a move permanent but have struggled to meet United\u2019s \u00a339 million (A$80.9m) asking price.<\/p>\n Jose Mourinho\u2019s Fenerbahce are reportedly interested in acquiring the Brazilian, so too are Saudi side Al Nassr, where he would play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n Malacia is proving most difficult to move with little interest in the former Feyenoord left back.<\/p>\n Irankunda scores UNREAL free kick | 00:36<\/p>\n LIVERPOOL CHASE REPLACEMENT FOR \u2018ALL OVER THE PLACE\u2019 DEFENDER<\/b><\/p>\n Plenty of intrigue continues to surround Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi with Liverpool and Manchester City both keen on the defender.<\/p>\n Guehi, who guided Palace to their famous FA Cup triumph last season, has made it clear that he is willing to stay, but that would give him the chance to leave as a free agent at the end of the season.<\/p>\n Palace chairman Steve Parish has said publicly that the best outcome for the club would be to bring in money for Guehi\u2019s departure, which may prompt a move in the coming days.<\/p>\n Liverpool have been the favourites all along with the 25-year-old England international viewed as a long term successor to 34-year-old Virgil van Dijk.<\/p>\n
