Alexander Isak wants to leave Newcastle United amid interest from Liverpool(Image: Getty Images)

Liverpool still have some work to do in the transfer market and one name continues to be mentioned on the rumour mill.

Alexander Isak is still being linked with a move to Anfield and the Newcastle United striker's future is dominating headlines in the early weeks of the Premier League season.

It was earlier this month that Liverpool had a £110million bid rejected by Newcastle for Isak.



The ECHO reported at the time that the Reds had no plans to submit a second offer due to the nature of the Magpies' rejection of the bid.

Isak has not been part of the Newcastle squad for the majority of pre-season and manager Eddie Howe decided not to use him during their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa in the Premier League at the weekend.

As a result, Liverpool are still being linked with signing the Sweden international before the September 1 deadline.

Regardless of who Liverpool may look to sign before the transfer window closes, they have the perfect welcome gift lined up for a new striker.

Ever since Darwin Nunez left the club earlier this month, the No.9 shirt has been vacant in the Reds squad.

With Isak being heavily linked with a move to Anfield, it could be the perfect welcome gift for the striker if a deal can be agreed.

Liverpool also have the numbers 13, 16, 23 and 24 available to new signings this summer, with the Reds also being linked with signing a new centre-back and a wide forward before the transfer window closes.

Giovanni Leoni became the eighth signing of the summer transfer window on Friday when he joined from Parma in a £26million deal.

The centre-back has taken the No.15 which had been vacant since Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain left the club in the summer of 2023.
