Gary Neville has paid a significant compliment to Alexander Isak as Liverpool move close to completing a British record transfer for the striker. This development followed Liverpool's win over Arsenal, maintaining their perfect start to the Premier League season. The club agreed to a £125 million deal with Newcastle for the 25-year-old Sweden international.
Isak, who has not yet played this season after going on strike to force a move from Newcastle, is highly valued for his attacking prowess. Last season, he scored 27 goals in all competitions and has a total of 62 goals in 109 appearances for the Tyneside club. His absence has been keenly felt by Newcastle.
Neville Pays Isak the Ultimate Compliment
On The Gary Neville Podcast from Anfield, shortly after Liverpool’s win against Arsenal and just days after a notable victory over Newcastle, Neville praised Isak's quality and impact. The former Manchester United defender stated:
“If they can get [Marc] Guehi and Isak through the door – they’re two starting players, and Isak’s one of the top centre-forwards in the world.”
“He’s a real player. He’s the one player that I’ve seen [William] Saliba and Gabriel and [Virgil] Van Dijk have a real hard time against over the last couple of seasons. He’s really caused them problems. He’s a different level player.”
Neville also commented on the confidence Liverpool will gain from these signings:
“For Liverpool to be on nine points after the two games they’ve just had, and to think that those two could be entering the building, they’ll be absolutely buzzing and confident as hell.”
Isak's arrival would add to Liverpool’s already strong attacking lineup, which includes Cody Gakpo, Hugo Ekitike, Mo Salah, and Florian Wirtz, with Federico Chiesa and Rio Ngumoha as reserves. This signing marks a major statement of intent from Liverpool, solidifying their attacking options and competitive edge.
