Alexander Isak’s future at Newcastle United may not yet hinge on whether the team secures Champions League football next season.

But while correctly predicting that Newcastle would not let their talisman leave in the January transfer window, Emile Heskey previously stated that the club’s ability to secure a return to Champions League football will be a deciding factor in whether Isak leaves.



Zenden suggested that playing European football in any capacity, such as the Europa League, may be enough, while saying Isak may even struggle to adapt at Arsenal or Liverpool.

Champions League qualification has been seen as a deciding factor in whether Isak leaves.

But there are certain teams that could fit the bill for Isak in the Premier League.”

Nevertheless, Newcastle currently stand a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League, which may well be extended from four English clubs qualifying to five for the new season due to the coefficient looking favourable for England's top division.

Meanwhile, Newcastle – who didn't have any European football this season – are only one game away from qualifying for the Europa League anyway, given they face a Carabao Cup final with Liverpool next month where that would be the additional prize for winning.
