Last week it was reported that the Blues had pulled off a shock deal for 17-year-old winger Quenda, one of European football’s most highly-rated young attacking talents who had been heavily linked with a reunion with former Sporting boss Ruben Amorim at Manchester United.

The Newcastle forward has discussed his future during the current international break and reiterated he is happy in the North East despite the ongoing speculation surrounding his future.

Alexander Isak says there are no concrete discussions over a new contract with Newcastle United but insists there have been no talks over a move away from St James’ Park. The Sweden international has enhanced his reputation as one of the finest strikers around with 23 goals this season – the latest clinching the Carabao Cup on a historic day for Newcastle at Wembley on Sunday against Liverpool.
