Former Newcastle United striker, Andy Carroll has criticised Alexander Isak for trying to force a move to Liverpool this summer transfer window.
Carroll described Isak’s behavior as a shame because Newcastle fans want him to stay at St. James’ Park this season.
Isak has refused to play for Newcastle again and as a result the Swede international has gone on strike. This comes after the striker submitted transfer request to Newcastle United while the club drags its feet.
He will not take part in Newcastle’s Premier League match against Aston Villa this weekend.
The 25-year-old has made his decision clear he wants to join Liverpool this summer.
Speaking on the development, Carroll told Sky Sports: “Isak is not from Newcastle so he can act like he is acting now and think it is acceptable.
“It is a big move for him. The way he is playing his cards at the minute, the Newcastle fans are not going to back him and it is a shame because he is such a good player and every Newcastle fan wants him to stay, the manager wants him to stay.”
