Newcastle's ain efforts to bring successful strikers - aft a drawstring of rejection slips - has led them to Stuttgart's Nick Woltemade, making it progressively apt that Isak will clear nan progressively toxic aerial astir Tyneside by moving to Anfield.

One of nan astir melodramatic twists, successful a model wherever Premier League clubs person truthful acold spent a grounds £2.73bn, led to Eberechi Eze changing people crossed northbound London to subordinate Arsenal successful a woody worthy £60m.

It is simply a bitter extremity for a subordinate erstwhile idolised by nan Toon Army, confirming what was iconic position by scoring what turned retired to beryllium nan winning extremity arsenic Newcastle United won nan Carabao Cup - their first home trophy for 70 years - against Liverpool, nan nine he has been truthful hopeless to join.

The dominoes person started to fall, pinch Newcastle's woody for Woltemade. Now it is up to Liverpool to make nan adjacent move pinch an connection person to nan Magpies' £150m valuation.

Gianluigi Donnarumma was a leader of Paris St-Germain's Champions League triumph past season, but he is connected nan measurement retired aft failing to work together a caller woody and has been marginalised.

Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir person wasted nary clip this play successful confirming they are not fresh for United's purpose, prompting a pursuit of Royal Antwerp's Senne Lammens arsenic good arsenic talk of renewed liking successful Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez.

City person brought successful James Trafford from Burnley while Turkish giants Galatasaray, past latterly Fenerbahce, person been pursuing long-time first prime Ederson.

If a goalkeeping vacancy comes up astatine Etihad Stadium, past Donnarumma appears to beryllium nan logical choice.

Trafford looked shaky successful nan nonaccomplishment astatine location to Spurs, while whoever gets Donnarumma will beryllium acquiring a high-class, proven and knowledgeable operator.

Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has fixed his verdict to BBC Sport, saying: "It would beryllium crazy if Manchester United didn't spell for him."

It whitethorn beryllium it is Etihad Stadium alternatively than Old Trafford wherever Donnarumma ends up, because location is nary measurement backmost for him astatine PSG.

One to watch earlier nan deadline.

The pieces are starting to displacement astatine Newcastle, pinch nan presence of Woltemade perchance unlocking nan impasse complete Isak and Liverpool.

So will Newcastle spell successful again earlier Monday to motion a 2nd forward, nan club's stated volition arsenic 1 of nan conditions that mightiness bring them to nan array complete Isak?

Wolverhampton Wanderers are opinionated patient complete Jorgen Strand Larsen, rejecting offers of £50m and £55m for nan striker, who they only signed permanently successful July aft a successful loan. They would besides person small clip to find a replacement.

Brentford person been likewise wished complete Yoane Wissa, who has publicly called retired his employers, but nan imaginable nonaccomplishment of Isak will surely reactivate moves to motion different striker - pinch Newcastle besides having mislaid Callum Wilson.

One certainty earlier nan model closes is that Newcastle will push to motion a 2nd caller striker, pinch Strand Larsen and Wissa still precocious connected nan agenda.

Crystal Palace president Steve Parish looks successful an almost intolerable position here, pinch negotiations ongoing pinch Liverpool astir a woody to waste skipper and England defender Marc Guehi.

Parish faces nan anticipation of losing nan highly prized Guehi astatine nan extremity of his statement adjacent summer, truthful each signs constituent towards a woody being done pinch Liverpool earlier nan transportation model closes. Talks person already been held, and this is 1 that should get done.

Tottenham Hotspur would person loved to motion Guehi, but his bosom is group connected a move to Anfield.

It would beryllium different rustle to Palace aft losing Eze to Arsenal - though some of these departures person been wide expected - truthful expect activity astatine Selhurst Park earlier nan deadline.

The 22-year-old has been disappointment astatine nine level, however, starting only six Premier League games past play and nary truthful acold this term.

Elliott would gaffe comfortably into astir Premier League teams, while RB Leipzig successful nan Bundesliga clasp an liking and are expected to prosecute a woody earlier nan adjacent of nan window.

It each leaves Elliott, who whitethorn yet pull precocious Premier League interest, pinch a dilemma.

He must make nan reliable prime betwixt staying and fighting for his spot astatine Liverpool, knowing he risks not having regular crippled time, aliases moving on.

He will surely not beryllium cheap, arsenic Liverpool will person noted fees for England Under-21 colleagues Tyler Dibling, who joined Everton from Southampton for £40m, and Omari Hutchinson, who moved from Ipswich Town to Nottingham Forest successful a £37.5m deal.

Liverpool, pinch justification, would respect Elliott arsenic a much costly commodity, and would expect immoderate woody to bespeak that.

Manchester United will beryllium heavy progressive successful nan transportation roundabout earlier adjacent of play connected Monday - surely erstwhile it comes to outgoings.

Alejandro Garnacho's enactment astatine Old Trafford has ended pinch his desired move to Chelsea, while nan future of Kobbie Mainoo remains a matter for intrigue.
