The club that started Alexander Isak's footballing journey is poised for a welcome financial windfall following the striker's move to Liverpool.

While the transfer appears to represent good business for Liverpool, several of his former clubs will also cash in from the record-breaking deal, including AIK Stockholm, where Isak began his career before departing for Borussia Dortmund aged just 17.

Despite Isak subsequently turning out for Real Sociedad and Newcastle, AIK remained eligible for a two per cent solidarity payment in recognition of their developmental contribution.



That brings Newcastle's total payment to the La Liga side to approximately £7m.

Meanwhile, Isak was delighted after finally completing his switch to Liverpool.

I'm looking forward to seeing my team-mates and the fans, and getting back out there."

Isak had been missing from the Newcastle squad since before their pre-season tour of Asia and accused the Magpies of breaking a promise that he could leave if a suitable offer came in.

Newcastle, for whom he netted 54 times in 86 Premier League appearances, released a short and sharp statement in which they confirmed Isak's departure for "a significant British record transfer fee."

Despite the collapse of Marc Guehi's move from Crystal Palace, the Premier League champions enjoyed an impressive transfer window.

Other notable signings include Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong, marking a significant summer investment.

Meanwhile, Liverpool finalised a deal that saw midfielder Harvey Elliott join Aston Villa on loan with a commitment to purchase.
