Alexander Isak's immediate behaviour following his £125m move from Newcastle United to Liverpool speaks volumes.

The 25-year-old had been the central piece of the summer's most dramatic transfer saga, which concluded late on deadline day.

The Reds shelled out a British-record £125million for Isak, but hope this will be money well spent if the striker is able to match his goal-scoring rate for his former club.

Isak registered 62 goals in 109 appearances in all competitions for Newcastle, but he was most deadly in the Premier League with one goal averaged every 1.5 matches.

Isak has scored four times against Liverpool in that period, including what turned out to be the winning strike in last season's Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

Making such a contribution to Newcastle's first major trophy success in 56 years was enough to earn him instant hero status on Tyneside - though this looks to have been stripped away following weeks spent over the summer trying to force a transfer to Liverpool.

It began with Isak not travelling on his former club's pre-season tour of the Far East due to injury, only to venture to Spain on his own and train at the facilities of Real Socieded.

It left a sour taste on Tyneside by the time it came to deadline day.

But with that now in the past, Isak is straight down to work for his new club.

Arne Slot's new signing had been with the Swedish national team over the break in club football immediately after completing his transfer.
