Owen, who has played for both Newcastle and Liverpool, says that players often move to bigger clubs in search of competition and the chance to win trophies. He believes that Isak is no exception, and that his motivation is genuine.

Owen's comments come after speculation about Isak's future at Newcastle. The striker has been linked with a move to Liverpool, but Owen insists that Isak's decision to leave is not solely driven by the prospect of a bigger contract.
