EDDIE HOWE has challenged his "so-called big names" to prove they are Champions League players and keep Newcastle's "big dream" alive.
And the head coach says there is "no issue" with Alexander Isak's contract situation because he has four years left on his deal.
But the Geordies would be unable to match a double-yourmoney wage rise that elite rivals like Chelsea or Arsenal could offer next summer for the £130k-aweek, £100m-rated goalscorer.
Isak's next two games are against Chelsea, who wanted to sign him in June as the Toon scrambled to raise cash.
Newcastle visit Stamford Bridge tomorrow in the Premier League and the teams then meet again on Wednesday in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup.
