They’ve brought in close to £200million worth of players in order to bolster their ranks and attempt to retain the Premier League title in the 2025-26 campaign.

Since the summer transfer window opened, several Premier League clubs have been linked with a move for Ekitike.

Jones also shares that now that Eddie Howe is making a move for Ekitike, the door may have just ‘creaked open a little’ for the Reds’ dream transfer of Isak.

Ever since it was made known that Liverpool were looking for a new number nine, Isak has been named as their dream target.

The Sweden international already has plenty of Premier League experience under his belt, with the former Real Sociedad man being one of the best strikers in the top flight last season.

That is, even if a deal for Isak would cost Liverpool around £120million.
