Alan Shearer insists there is "no chance" that Alexander Isak will line up as Liverpool's number nine this season.

However, Liverpool are not the only ones keen on tempting Isak into a transfer, with Premier League rivals Arsenal long-term admirers of the Swede.

The Magpies aren't keen on letting Isak depart St James' Park either, with the Carabao Cup winners said to be valuing his services north of £150million.



Eddie Howe isn't ready for his most dangerous attacker to leave, and Isak has shown no signs of forcing an exit to another high-profile club.

However, the Reds have showcased their own transfer pull this summer, bringing in some serious talent to join the squad for the 2025/26 season.

All three are worth just under £200million."

The conversation moved on to where Wirtz would fit into Liverpool's front line, where Shearer chimed in: "I think he'll be floating between the two.

Right?"

The 54-year-old made an X-rated gesture, putting up his middle finger on both hands while grinning, as he emphatically replied: "No chance!"

Shearer is likely not ready or willing to part with Isak's services at his beloved Newcastle United, as the Swede helped the side to their first major trophy since 1955 – beating Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final – and then helped them qualify for the Champions League this upcoming season.

Isak contributed 27 goals and six assists in 42 appearances for Newcastle in the 2024/25 season, and is regarded as a key part of Howe's squad.

However, Liverpool have already broken the British transfer record once this season with Wirtz, and could be looking to flex that financial muscle in order to continue their recent success in the Premier League.
