Indeed, it may have taken until deadline day to get the transfer over the line, but even just in the glimpses that we’ve seen of the striker in Liverpool’s training sessions, he looks to be in top form.
Liverpool also signed Hugo Ekitike in the summer transfer window, and now that the Reds have two world-class strikers among their ranks, it’s unclear what plans Slot has for the duo this season.
And, even though Isak was arguably the Premier League’s best striker last term, Joleon Lescott has dropped his verdict on what the Sweden international might not end up doing at Liverpool this season.
Seeing as though Isak can only be used as a striker, it feels likely that the former Newcastle man will be leading Liverpool’s attack as their number nine.
“Oh, no way [whether Isak will be Liverpool’s top scorer], he said while on All Out Football.”
“Salah, Salah is taking all the pens, he’s going to take all the pens, isn’t he.
I also believe that they will rotate Isak; Salah isn’t getting rotated.”
Although Isak may have bagged over 20 Premier League goals last season, the fact that Salah ended up being the top scorer in the league says all you need to know.
Of course, it’ll be a tall order for Isak to beat the Egyptian King to Liverpool’s golden boot, but if his form from last season carries over or even improves, Slot could have a rather deadly attacking duo on his hands.
