I wish him all the best.” (Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images) Isak’s first season at Liverpool was a very difficult one. 9 netted 27 goals and added a further 6 assists in 42 appearances for Newcastle which highlights what he’s capable of when he’s fully fit and gets a run of games together.

There’s no doubting the quality of the forward but keeping him fit and getting the best out of him is one of the many challenges the next Liverpool boss will have to navigate. The season just gone was one to forget for the Merseysiders – so let’s hope the upcoming campaign will be one to remember!
