Former Everton star Joleon Lescott believes Liverpool underpaid for Alexander Isak.

It cost a British record £125million to secure his services.

The 25-year-old appeared for the first time under Arne Slot in Liverpool's 3-2 Champions League win against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday in place of Hugo Ekitike.



Isak's debut was bright, despite not scoring, and he was replaced after 60 minutes.
