Alexander Isak has gone public with his disquiet at Newcastle United. But there are no guarantees he will end up at Liverpool.

The Liverpool executives who attend away matches vary between the likes of CEO Billy Hogan, club ambassadors Sir Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush (both former Newcastle employees), club secretary Danny Stanway, and chief legal and external affairs officer Jonathan Bamber.

Newcastle and Isak are at war, but with so little time remaining of the transfer window, an uncomfortable truce may be more likely than his dream move to Liverpool.
