Alexander Isak has been one of the main stories in soccer this summer, even without stepping onto the field, after successfully pushing through a transfer to Liverpool.

The Swedish forward went from being adored on Tyneside to criticized as a villain once he forced his way out of Newcastle to join the Premier League titleholders.

It doesn't matter where the players play as long as they play and that they are happy, and he is extremely happy."

As a result, Isak stayed on the bench against Slovenia and later played just the final 18 minutes of Sweden's 2–0 defeat to Kosovo, fueling speculation Liverpool had placed restrictions on his minutes.
