Isak has agreed a six-year deal with the Premier League champions after forcing through a move away from the Magpies.

Newcastle previously rejected a £110million bid last month before the forward claimed the club had ‘broken promises’ to sell him.

The 25-year-old now looks set to get his wish by securing a long-awaited move to the Reds.

However, McCoist has been unimpressed with the transfer saga and Isak’s behaviour in particular.

Asked about the way he has forced through the transfer, the talkSPORT co-host told Breakfast: “I’ve made my views on it crystal clear.

“I think it’s been really poor. I just don’t think he’s handled it in any way, shape or form like you should.

“It’s one thing wanting a move, and by the way I know where he’s coming from, we’d all probably want to move to Liverpool. I get it but you can’t go about it the way he’s done it.

“It’s just wrong on so many counts. It sends completely the wrong message out to the supporters, to youngsters coming into the game.

“I don’t care what anybody says, I think he’s completely alone. As is (Yoane) Wissa with the way he’s gone about it.”

Newcastle are set to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford prior to Monday’s 7pm deadline.

Meanwhile, McCoist has praised the attitude of Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi towards Crystal Palace’s transfer stance.
