Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer believed Alexander Isak’s behaviour in forcing a move to Liverpool was “a really bad look for football”.

Isak effectively went on strike in order to push through his British record £125million transfer to the Anfield club on Monday, refusing to play for the Magpies at the start of the Premier League season.
