Liverpool complete £125m signing of Alexander Isak from Newcastle in British record transfer
Alexander Isak’s Liverpool squad number revealed after record transfer
- Liverpool have broken the British transfer record by signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle for £125m.
- The Sweden international has signed a six-year deal at Anfield, taking the No 9 shirt, and expressed his ambition to "win everything" with the club.
- Newcastle allowed the 25-year-old to leave after he went on strike and accused them of broken promises, enabling them to sign replacements Nick Woltemade (£69m) and Yoane Wissa (£50m).
- Isak's arrival pushes Liverpool's summer spending to a record £430m, making him the third most expensive signing in football history.
- The transfer occurred after Isak forced the move and the club deemed their relationship irreparable.
