Liverpool striker Alexander Isak insists "not everyone has the whole picture" about his acrimonious move from Newcastle.
Having completed his British-record transfer on 1 September, Isak said he wanted to "express his gratitude" to his former Newcastle team-mates, club staff and fans.
However, when it looked like the move would not happen a fortnight earlier, the Swede posted a strongly-worded statement on Instagram claiming promises had been broken and his silence had "allowed people to push their own version of events".
"It's clear that not everyone has the whole picture, but that's something for another day," Isak told Swedish media after his country's 2-0 defeat by Kosovo on Monday.
"That's part of football.
I can't control everything that is said or written but I'm glad I became a Liverpool player.
That's what I wanted and I'm happy about that.
"There is a lot to discuss, and it can be discussed for a long time.
It has been educational, and I'm happy with the final result.
"I'm happy and proud to be a Liverpool player.
