Liverpool continue to be linked with wantaway striker Alexander Isak as he faces a race against time to leave Newcastle United. The 25-year-old has reportedly made it clear that he will not play for the Magpies again after being left angered by his treatment at St James' Park.
The Reds have already seen a £110m bid rejected by the North East club for their second-most expensive signing. However, parts appear to be moving with the first piece of the puzzle being completed with Nick Woltemade completing a £65m move from VfB Stuttgart.
Newcastle are said to want two strikers, while Liverpool face questions over whether they will further reinforce their squad as they look to successfully defender their Premier League title.

In the last couple of hours, reports have sparked the saga back into life. The ECHO have rounded up the latest reports.
Alexander Isak is a 'done deal'
Footballer-turned-broadcaster Jan Aage Fjortoft has claimed that Isak's move to Liverpool is a 'done deal'.
The Norwegian reporter outlined that nothing is expected before Newcastle play their final Premier League fixture before the international break away at Leeds United.
Nick Woltemade, who became the Magpies' new record-signing, will not be involved after his deal was completed after the deadline for registrations.
Fjortoft claimed that the fee will be £130million, £20m less than what has been quoted as Newcastle's asking price throughout the summer.
He adds that the move is "likely to happen very soon".
Wolves close to new striker amid Strand Larsen interest
There are a host of transfer dominos that may still have to fall. One of which involves Wolves and their striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, who is a target for Newcastle, but the Midlands club have already rejected two bids for his services.
However, they may be preparing a succession plan if the Norwegian leaves.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Wolves are close to signing Tolu Arokodare after agreeing a €27million (£23m) deal with Genk.
The forward is set to complete his medical with the move progressing.
