Alexander Isak released a statement on social media after he was named in the PFA Premier League team of the season for 2024-25.
After saying how proud he was to have made the XI and thanking his team-mates and “everyone at Newcastle United” for their support, here is what he wrote…
“I’m not at the ceremony tonight. With everything going on, it didn’t feel right to be there.
“I’ve kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken.
“That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn’t reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors.
“The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading.
“When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can’t continue. That’s where things are for me right now – and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself.”
