The Swedish striker has made a name for himself as one of the Premier League's top forwards during his three-year stint with Newcastle.

Since joining the Magpies, Isak has scored an impressive 62 goals in 109 appearances across all competitions, hitting the 20-goal mark twice in the Premier League.

His stellar performances have understandably drawn interest from Arsenal and reigning Premier League champions Liverpool, who have been active in the transfer market so far.

The Reds have already snapped up Bayer Leverkusen duo Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz for £29.5million and £116m respectively, with the latter set to smash the British transfer record once he officially makes the move to Merseyside.

And they've already been given a detailed rundown of what they can expect from Isak, both in terms of his skill and character, by his Newcastle team-mates.

Earlier this year, The Athletic revealed that Magpies boss Eddie Howe branded Isak as "world class" straight after his first training session almost three years ago.

In my opinion, Alex is probably the best striker in the world at the minute." It was also claimed by an unnamed source that Newcastle needed to "stimulate" Isak, to "really get him going" and push him into raising his levels at the right time.

They appear to have managed that as he became the seventh-fastest player to score 50 Premier League goals (76 matches) this season, with only Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah netting more than his 54 goals over the last three top-flight campaigns.

Newcastle have shrewdly tied down Isak to a contract until 2028, allowing them to demand a hefty transfer fee to deter potential buyers.

Liverpool are said to be prepared to table an offer around £100m, £16m less than what they're shelling out for Wirtz, which would fall significantly short of Newcastle's valuation.

Given Newcastle's financial backing from Saudi, their return to Champions League football this season and the morale boost from lifting the League Cup, it's unlikely they'll be swayed into selling anytime soon.

It's understood that the only feasible way for Isak to make a move to Anfield would be if the player himself pushed for a transfer away from Newcastle.
