Summary

Aaron Paul is joined by the Telegraph’s Luke Edwards and Mark Ogden from ESPN to dissect the Alexander Isak transfer saga. Will he be a Liverpool player by the close of the window?

Newcastle United insist Isak is not for sale and Luke Edwards believes losing him would start a worrying trend for the club.

Benjamin Sesko’s destination seems to have a big bearing on that, but Mark Ogden says the RB Leipzig striker favours a move to Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, with Tom Brady speaking out against Wayne Rooney’s management of Birmingham City in a new Amazon Prime documentary, does this signal the end of Rooney’s career as a manager?
