There is a feeling that a lot of things will have to fall into place for Liverpool to sign Alexander Isak during this summer transfer window.

Yes, the player has openly expressed his desire to leave Newcastle United, but it isn’t as simple as saying that and walking straight into another team.

A lot needs to be negotiated and agreed upon for such a deal to take place, especially one that will include a British record transfer fee.

It is well documented that Liverpool are long-term admirers of the Swedish international and it is becoming increasingly more likely that the Reds make the move to attempt to sign him this summer.

Newcastle will be gutted to lose their striker.

After officially becoming the richest club in England, there is no doubt that they will have goals and ambitions to reach the very top of football in Europe, and a loss such as this really will feel like a step in the wrong direction.

However, such is football and after Newcastle have yet again shown a lack of transfer activity during a window that could’ve seen them build on their first piece of silverware in 70 years, Alexander Isak is getting restless.

He seems edging towards the exit door, but before he does depart, it will be crucial that Newcastle can sign a replacement for him.

It is understood, according to The Express & Star, that Jorgen Strand Larsen of Wolverhampton Wanderers is a potential replacement as the club prepares for a potential future without Alexander Isak.

The Premier League side are admirers of the young Norwegian striker, and are considering making a move for him this summer, but that will depend on potential outgoings.

Wolves have not been contacted as of right now, but Newcastle United do hold a strong interest in Jorgen Strand Larsen, and will move to sign him if Alexander Isak departs the club.
