Newcastle star Alexander Isak is trying to push through a move to Liverpool this summer after telling Magpies chiefs he wants to leave the club.

And some Newcastle fans think the Reds cheekily attempted to lure the striker to Anfield with an ABBA song.

Liverpool got the 2025/26 Premier League season underway on Friday evening as they defeated Bournemouth 4-2.

The Reds ultimately secured the win after Federico Chiesa and Mohamed Salah scored in the closing stages.

Ahead of the match, Liverpool played the ABBA hit Gimme Gimme Gimme, which was released by the Swedish band in 1979.

The tune has been used by Newcastle fans when chanting Isak’s name during his time at St James’ Park

Magpies supporters sing: “Gimme, gimme, gimme a striker from Sweden, he's our number 14 and he plays in attack.

Gimme, gimme, gimme a striker from Sweden, first name's Alexander and his surname's Isak.”

According to The Shields Gazette, the decision to play the song was deliberate, with the publication reporting that Newcastle fans may view the use of the song as shameless.

Isak was absent for Newcastle’s clash with Aston Villa on Saturday, with the two sides playing out a 0-0 draw at Villa Park.

And after the match, some Newcastle fans were heard singing: “We don't care about Isak, he don't care about me, all we care about, is NUFC.”

That rhyme came after some Magpies fans were heard singing another song, presumably aimed at Isak as they chanted: “There’s only one greedy b******.”
