At a press conference before Sunday's match against Wolverhampton, Eddie Howe admits that the transfer is close and that he hopes to count on Alexander Isak already this weekend.
- It is not completely clear, but we hope it will be, he says at a press conference.
When asked if he is ready for the match against "Wolves", Howe answers as follows:
- We're keeping our fingers crossed, there's no guarantee when it comes to things like this.
We depend on others but we hope to solve it.
- Hopefully it will be clear.
He will be a big player for us, says Eddie Howe.
