Alan Shearer Tells Isak to Sack Agent After Newcastle Liverpool Transfer Mess
Newcastle icon Alan Shearer has urged Alexander Isak to part ways with his agent, blaming him for the chaos surrounding the striker’s transfer saga this summer.
Isak, alongside his representative, is reportedly pushing for a move to Liverpool, but Newcastle blocked the deal after rejecting the Reds’ opening £110m bid. The fallout escalated when the Swedish forward accused the Magpies of breaking promises and betraying his trust, a claim the club quickly dismissed in an official response.
Reacting to the drama, Shearer didn’t hold back, telling Betfair that Isak’s agent has turned the situation into a disaster. He stressed that the forward should sack him immediately, especially since the agent advised Isak to sign a six-year deal with no release clause, leaving Newcastle in full control of his future.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
