Odds on Newcastle forward Alexander Isak's move to Liverpool drift after bidding war for Benjamin Sesko.
The transfer saga of Alexander Isak continues to dominate headlines, as the Swedish international returned to Newcastle training this week, after he was omitted from the club's pre-season tour of Singapore.
Despite the forward returning to training, Liverpool remain the odds-on favourites to sign the wantaway star, and are currently best priced at 9/10.
Despite this short price, the odds have drifted slightly this week, having been priced at 4/11 just days ago, suggesting a deal could be more complex than it may seem.
This comes as news of a bidding war could be breaking out with both Newcastle and Manchester United tabling offers for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who could be seen as an Isak replacement for the Magpies.

Will Sesko Join Man United or Newcastle?
Liverpool's move for Isak could be delayed until Newcastle find a replacement for the Swede, and they have turned their attention to RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko.
The Magpies tabled a club-record bid of around £70 million, which was almost immediately followed by an offer from Man United which were both reportedly turned down.
It remains to be seen which of the two will be successful, but it is believed that the Slovenian would favour a move to Manchester. If this move does materialise, you would think a deal for Isak to join Liverpool would become more complicated.
