Over the course of Friday and Saturday, there were developments in Liverpool's pursuit of Isak and Newcastle's push for Sesko

Fabrizio Romano reported on Saturday that - despite contrary reports - Liverpool were considering a second bid, and were prepared to “insist” for the striker. Sky Sports report that Isak had touched down at Newcastle airport on Saturday afternoon, and he is due in for training alongside his colleagues on Monday, when they return from Asia.

Sources have told ESPN that Newcastle have accelerated talks with Leipzig to sign Sesko -- who Manchester United also have in their sights. Sources would not confirm the value of the bid, but British media report said it is worth up to £69.7 million ($92.5m)
