Former Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll has criticised Alexander Isak for trying to force a move to Liverpool this summer transfer window.
Carroll labelled Isak’s behaviour as shameful 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 Swedish international has gone on strike.
He will not take part in Newcastle’s Premier League tie 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.”
