In recent days, it has been reported in the national press that Liverpool are willing to make a British record transfer offer to sign the Sweden international. And Collymore, who played for the Reds between 1995 and 1997, believes it is only a matter of time before Isak makes the move to Anfield.

Just how good is Alexander Isak? Can the Magpies compete on all fronts without him? Would paying the Swede upset the Newcastle project?

Newcastle defender Dan Burn has said that Alexander Isak leaving would "upset" the players, amid continued talk of a move to Liverpool.
