With Liverpool being heavily linked to a move for Alexander Isak, Arne Slot said the club would never hesitate to sign a quality player if the chance presents itself.



The Premier League champions have already spent close to £300m this summer and are expected to bid for the Sweden striker, who is training alone at his former club Real Sociedad.

Liverpool are long-standing admirers of Isak and have funds available from the £65.5m sale of Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich.

Regardless they will almost certainly have to break the British transfer record to get their man.

“I always say, another thing about Liverpool is that if we see a chance in the market we never hesitate to bring someone in,” said Slot as Liverpool left Japan after their pre-season tour of the far east.

In terms of quality, we are already in the right place.”

This summer Liverpool have brought in Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, the former for a club-record £100m, as well as Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, Hugo Ekitiké from Eintracht Frankfurt and the goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia.

“It’s the way this club has worked over several years: targeting a specific player who we think can strengthen the squad and can bring us quality.

Then we try to bring him in,” said Slot.
