For most Liverpool fans, the 2024-25 Premier League title win was unexpected to say the least, especially when it was Arne Slot’s first campaign in charge of the club.

Speaking live on talkSPORT, Murphy gave his thoughts on the Reds’ chance of winning the Premier League again next season and what the transfer of Alexander Isak could mean to them.

“I think so, [Liverpool favourites to win Premier League next year], I think you become favourites once you’ve won it, don’t you, and then you make the addition that they are doing,” he said.

“I know some of them aren’t over the line yet, the big thing is who comes in and who goes out.

“Let’s say, I’m hypothesising here, it probably won’t happen, but there has been some news, hasn’t there, about Isak possibly going to Liverpool as well.

“I know that sounds a bit ‘wow’ but could you imagine, and then all of a sudden there’s not a conversation, of course Liverpool are favourites then.”

Everybody knows that Liverpool’s next target after Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz’s moves are confirmed will be a striker.

Even though Liverpool were one of the most dominant teams in the league during the 2024-25 campaign, with the number of new players their title rivals are bringing in, changes need to be made.

Isak was once again in fine form for the Magpies last term and has more than proven himself to be a capable Premier League striker.
