Jamie Carragher has cautioned Liverpool that landing Alexander Isak's signature wouldn't automatically deliver them the Premier League title.

However, by contrast, his Sky Sports colleague Gary Neville believes it would make the Reds overwhelming favorites.

With Isak eager to join Liverpool, there remains a chance the striker could realize his ambition and bolster Arne Slot's already impressive attacking options.

When questioned about Liverpool's chances of securing Isak, Sky Sports pundit Carragher responded: "Yeah, I think so, but I don't get this narrative of Liverpool are going to run away with it."

Carragher highlighted the Reds' Community Shield loss to Crystal Palace as proof that new signings Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike will need time to gel.

Alexander Isak scored 23 league goals for Newcastle United last season.

It didn't look right.

"It tells me it's not just about spending lots of money and buying the best players, you've still got to manage that team and make it work and have a nice balance to it."

Nevertheless, former Manchester United defender Neville reckons that securing Isak could position Liverpool as the leading contenders to defend their title.

"Liverpool won it really comfortably last year and have had a great transfer window," he said during the launch of Sky Sports' Premier League coverage
