Newcastle United are stepping away from any deal for Real Sociedad forward Alexander Isak.

The Swedish striker was a target for the Magpies this summer.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe wants to add strong competition for forward Callum Wilson this summer.

However, the Daily Mail suggests that Sociedad wanted a mega fee for Isak.

While Newcastle have a lot of funds thanks to their takeover from a Saudi Arabia-led consortium last season, they are not willing to overspend.

They will now turn their attention to other players, unless Sociedad bring down the asking price on Isak.
