Jamie Carragher explains the reason behind signing Alexander Isak this summer after Liverpool enjoyed a strong start with Hugo Ekitike.
The Reds signed Isak from Newcastle United in a British-record deal worth £125m on deadline day to bolster their attack.
Liverpool fans have praised the efforts that Sporting Director Richard Hughes has put in the transfer market this summer.
The Reds have capitalised on their Premier League title victory from last season by breaking their traditional approach to transfer activity.
Instead of signing only promising players, Liverpool have successfully beaten rivals to get well-established stars like Isak and Florian Wirtz.
The Reds played their first three Premier League games by using Ekitike as their sole natural striker in the squad.
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has two formidable striker options in Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike.
However, they will play Brentford next in the away game on Sunday, with two brilliant options available for Arne Slot.
There is an issue with the match fitness of Isak, increasing the possibility of him coming off the bench.
Carragher told Sky Sports that Liverpool can use both strikers in some games, highlighting the importance of signing Isak and Ekitike.
The Reds already lacked consistency in attack last season and needed to make changes after Slot worked only with the team he inherited from Jurgen Klopp.
With Isak, Liverpool’s attack is not only brimming with overall quality but also with players capable of healthy rotation
