Alexander Isak has said farewell to Newcastle United and the club's supporters after completing his British record transfer to Liverpool on deadline day.

The striker's move to Anfield was completed late on Monday night, costing the Reds a whopping £125million.

Arne Slot's side had tracked the Sweden international all summer and had failed with a £110m offer at the start of last month.

Newcastle were adamant that Isak was not for sale despite the 25-year-old training alone and not featuring in any of the Magpies' first three games of the season.

Newcastle's moves for Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart and Yoane Wissa from Brentford paved the way for Isak to replace Florian Wirtz as Liverpool's club record signing.

Now on duty with Sweden for their World Cup qualification campaign, Isak has made reference to his former employees on Instagram.

"I want to express my gratitude to my teammates, the staff, and above all, the city of Newcastle and all the amazing supporters for the three unforgettable years we shared together," he said.

"Together, we have written history and brought the club to the place where it truly belongs.

It has been an honour to be part of the journey from reaching the Champions League to winning the first trophy in over 70 years.

"Forever grateful.

When asked by Jim White on talkSPORT to come on and explain the transfer, the Croatian said: "It's nice when you have someone to be with, but it's even nicer when you know who you'll never be with again."
