The centre-forward was on the bench the last time Newcastle reached the Carabao Cup final but a lot has changed since then

Newcastle United have already identified a potential replacement for Alexander Isak, according to a report.Isak is one of the best strikers in the Premier League and has been on fire for Newcastle

Trophy drought, failure, no longer words to be associated with Newcastle United as they beat Liverpool 2-1 to win the Carabao Cup. Dan Burn’s bullet header on the stroke of half-time from Kieran Trippier’s corner gave The Magpies the advantage at the halfway stage at Wembley Stadium.

Liverpool were left stunned as Newcastle United beat them 2-1 at Wembley to win the Carabao Cup for the first time in the club’s history. The Reds went into the game as favourites to lift the trophy, having arrived in the capital with a comfortable lead at the top of the Premier League table.

Newcastle are interested in signing Randal Kolo Muani as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak, according to Italian media. The Magpies are gearing up for one of the biggest matches in the club's recent history when they take on Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.

It’s fair to say Newcastle United couldn’t face a tougher opponent in the quest to end their 70-year domestic trophy drought. Liverpool are the Premier League champions in waiting, currently sitting 15 points clear at the top of the table.

Liverpool are reportedly ready to spend huge money on a new striker in this summer’s transfer window, and Alexander Isak isn’t the only name on their list.

Newcastle must avoid one scenario to stop Alexander Isak wondering if he's better chasing glory at Liverpool or Arsenal
