Alexander Isak very much remains a dream signing for Liverpool, who have already proven themselves when shopping at the highest end of the transfer market this summer.

Last month, our colleagues at Chonicle Live stated that Newcastle are convinced Isak will be going nowhere?

He replied: "I personally think that Newcastle or any other club would find it hard to turn down £150m for any player IF that price is on the table.

"It's just an astronomical amount of money and if Liverpool were to really back up the speculation, I think it turns into one of the biggest sensations in world football very quickly.

"And I always go back to CEO Darren Eales admitting on record on a Zoom call that every player has a price?

Then you think about the player, if he wants the move and his head has been turned by the sway of crazy money, it would be hard to stop them

"Isak's agent will be pushing for him to be on better money but he remains under contract for three more years

Signing an improved contract ends all the talk straight away."

Speaking to The Shields Gazzette before March's Carabao Cup final between the two clubs, Isak said he quite enjoys playing against the Reds.

"I really enjoy the games against Liverpool, because I think they're not too different to ourselves, a high-pressing team and a direct team, which can lead to many counter-opportunities, and that's the game I like," he said
