Newcastle’s wantaway striker Alexander Isak has been called up to play for Sweden next month.

Isak, who has made clear his desire to leave the north-east club despite having three years remaining on his contract, is part of a 24-man group named by Sweden coach Jon Dahl Tomasson on Wednesday for World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Kosovo on September 5 and 8.

Isak has been training alone ever since missing Newcastle’s pre-season tour to Singapore and South Korea.

Senne Lammens was not involved in Royal Antwerp’s squad at the weekend as Manchester United remain in talks over signing the 23-year-old goalkeeper.

But, according to the Telegraph, personal terms are yet to be agreed despite United feeling confident over a proposed £17m move.

Lammens has been on United’s radar for a while but is not viewed as a No 1 goalkeeper, with Andre Onana yet to start a game this season.

Tottenham are trying to sign two attackers from a shortlist of five names as they seek to bolster their options in the final days of a frantic transfer window.

Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers remains the ideal signing, but the difficulty in doing that deal means the Spurs hierarchy are also looking at West Ham United’s Lucas Paqueta, Leipzig’s Xavi Simons, Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman and Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche.

Jorgen Stand Larsen is “keen” to join Newcastle, according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, but will not push for a move away from Wolves before the deadline.

Wolves rejected a bid of £55m from Newcastle for the striker, the second approach Newcastle have made for the Norwegian international.

Newcastle are desperate to sign a striker, while Larsen is not viewed as a replacement for Alexander Isak.

Manchester United are “expecting” offers for Kobbie Mainoo, according to Sky Sports, with the 20-year-old midfielder looking likely to leave the club before the deadline.

Mainoo has been an unused substitute in United’s first two games of the season and has reportedly fallen out of favour with head coach Ruben Amorim.

United are said to be open to allowing Mainoo to leave if the club receives the right offer – with Mainoo also open to a move after failing to agree a new contract with his boyhood club.

Arsenal remain interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie.

The Ecuador centre-back, who can play on the left side of defence, has a release clause worth £52m and wants to join the Gunners. Personal terms have reportedly been agreed.

A deal is dependent on outgoings but Arsenal remain in talks with Porto over a deal for Jakub Kiwior, who will be allowed to leave.

Chelsea have announced that Argentine centre-back Aaron Anselmino has joined Borussia Dortmund on loan for the season.

It comes after midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka joined the German club yesterday in a permanent deal worth £24m.

If Newcastle have a real dilemma over Alexander Isak’s behaviour and intent in the closing days of the transfer window, then Wolves are experiencing a better situation, despite fielding bids for Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira maintains Jorgen Strand Larsen will “never force a move” but conceded “every player has a price”.

“Until now, Strand Larsen is our player. Also I understand football, every player has a price,” said the Portuguese boss. Read more of the manager’s views on his in-demand player below.

• Newcastle are yet to receive a second bid from Liverpool for the striker after opening £110m offer

• Eddie Howe wants ‘clarity’ over situation with under a week to go before deadline

Kobbie Mainoo would consider a move away from Manchester United in the final week of the window if the club receive a suitable offer, according to talkSPORT.

Mainoo is yet to feature for United this season and Ruben Amorim said that he is directly competing with Bruno Fernandes for a place in the side.

Several Premier League clubs are rumoured to be interested in the England international, including Spurs, Chelsea and Brighton.
