Newcastle United supporters want to see record signing Alexander Isak make his debut for the club when Eddie Howe's side face Liverpool tonight.
The Magpies had been waiting to hear if Isak, who joined from Real Sociedad in a deal reported to be worth £63 million last week, would be allowed to feature at Anfield with the 22-year-old needing to be granted a work permit before appearing for his new team.
Fans will welcome the news that all formalities have been completed, meaning Chris Wood could make way for the former Borussia Dortmund man after being previously replaced 65 minutes into Newcastle's 1-1 draw against Wolves by Ryan Fraser.

Interestingly, the Toon Army would also favour Matt Targett's inclusion over Dan Burn on Merseyside. Burn, a centre-back by trade figured at left-back on Sunday having grown comfortable in the position during his time with Brighton.
He departed proceedings alongside Wood at Molineux with Targett's spell on the pitch coinciding with the visitors' most promising spell of play, which would ultimately lead to Alan Saint-Maximin's 90th-minute equaliser.
Buoyed from their 9-0 triumph over Bournemouth at the weekend, Liverpool will undoubtedly provide tough opposition for Howe's side, despite an underwhelming start to the campaign that has seen them drop points against the likes of Fulham and Crystal Palace.
Victory would end a 27-year hoodoo for Newcastle who last won at Anfield in October 1995, when Steve Watson netted the game's only goal in a League Cup tie.
