Ex-Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott believes Liverpool won't need Alexander Isak's goals to win the Premier League thanks to Mohamed Salah.

However, despite Isak's arrival significantly boosting their firepower, two-time Premier League winner Lescott thinks it will be Salah whose goals will help them retain their crown.

Speaking on In The Mixer, brought to you by Sky Bet, Lescott was asked if Isak would be the Reds' Premier League top scorer this season.



He hasn't experienced someone who has been deemed on his level or potentially getting as many goals as him.

"[Sadio] Mane was willing to let Salah score more goals, and the team knew that it worked for the team.

And we've seen Mane and Salah argue over certain things in the past, but we all also knew Salah was going to get more goals."

Isak took to the field for the first time since his move on Monday evening as Sweden faced Kosovo in their second World Cup qualifier.

Liverpool's next fixture is on Sunday afternoon away at Burnley, when he's expected to be named amongst the substitutes before a potential debut off the bench.
