Alexander Isak has opened up on his Newcastle United future amid continued speculation linking him with a move to Liverpool in the summer. The forward has been linked with a move to Anfield in recent months after impressing for Eddie Howe’s side this season.
Isak has scored 21 goals across 24 starts so far this season. And this weekend he comes up against the Reds in the Carabao Cup at Wembley.
And when asked on Friday morning if he can fulfil his best career moments in playing for Newcastle, Isak replied: "That's why I came here."

Expanding further on his future, the Sweden international said: "Yeah, as I have said. I am not really thinking about the summer yet.
"That will be a talking point when the season is finished. No talks have been held yet."
Speaking via the Chronicle, Isak then continued: "I mean, that is why I came here. I have said many times that I don't really think too much about my future.
“I have said many times I am happy here and we are competing for titles, which is what you want as a football player. We have been to one final and now we are in another one.
"The chances are there. We should look at it one season at a time, and this season we can win a trophy. I have said many times I am focused on doing a job. All of our focus is on Sunday and bringing a trophy back."
Isak has also provided an update on his fitness after being forced to miss the recent Premier League defeat to Liverpool at Anfield with a groin injury.
"I have not been injured I have just had a bit of tiredness,” he said. “It has been dramatic. I feel good. I am really excited for the game.
“The best way to prepare is to train as normal. It will come down to what we do as a team, and that is all we can focus on. I am excited but focused on the job.
“I just want to be the best version of myself. I have high ambitions. I am trying to create my own history at Newcastle.
“Happy with what I have done so far but always looking forward. It's hard work and training and the mentality to want to get better. I have ambitions to achieve in my career and be the best version of myself."
