Real Sociedad would make a tidy sum from any Isak deal thanks to a reported ten per cent sell-on clause which could bank them around £8.5m.Benjamin Sesko was said to be one Newcastle target, but the 22-year-old also interests Manchester United, while the Red Devils’ own Rasmus Hojlund is now under consideration by St James’ Park bosses.Elsewhere, Ollie Watkins could be available for around £40m, while the likes of Chelsea‘s Nicolas Jackson and Brentford‘s Yoane Wissa are also on the market – the latter now being unsettled following a rejected offer by Nottingham Forest.TRANSFER NEWS LIVE – KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW
