Liverpool stars past and present have already shared their thoughts on the club's record-breaking signing of Alexander Isak.

The Reds announced the mega-deal for the Swedish international on Monday night.

Liverpool agreed a whopping £125million transfer fee to take Isak from Newcastle United before deadline day, ending months of relentless speculation.

Newcastle, for whom he scored 54 times in 86 Premier League appearances, issued a notably terse statement in which they confirmed Isak’s departure for “a significant British record transfer fee.”
