Liverpool have set their sights on Alexander Isak - and Newcastle's Swedish forward has already previously expressed his admiration for Anfield.

Despite only a handful of appearances in Liverpool since his 2022 move to England, Isak has fond memories, notably scoring during one of his early games at Anfield.

The Reds are reportedly gearing up for a record-breaking bid to snatch the striker from Newcastle.

After splashing out over £200million this summer, Liverpool are believed to be ready to push the boat out further and test Newcastle's stance with an offer that could hit the £130m mark.

Although he has a long-term contract at St James' Park, the prospect of a transfer remains given they would offer him the chance to regularly compete for trophies.
