Liverpool confirmed yet another blockbuster signing earlier this week with the arrival of Hugo Ekitike.

The Frenchman has already joined his clubmates in Hong Kong where the Reds begin their Far East tour with a fixture against AC Milan.

Given that Ekitike’s transfer fee could eventually grow to be as high as £79 million, fans and pundits alike could be forgiven for assuming that a deal for ‘admired’ target Alexander Isak is now definitely off the table.

However, it emerged on Friday that Isak has informed Newcastle that he wishes to explore his options away from St.

He sent him home from Glasgow for that friendly defeat against Celtic and said that he respects that a player’s career is quite short. 

“I was thinking as soon as Liverpool moved for Ekitike, that might have meant the end of the Alexander Isak interest, having been told he’s not for sale.  

“It does seem as though that stance – while Newcastle would be reluctant to sell him – they’re not going to get their wish.

He can earn a lot more at a club like Liverpool.

He can fight for trophies a lot more at a club like Liverpool, so all the boxes are being ticked from his end.  

“Undoubtedly Liverpool like him as a player.

Already, it’s a historic transfer window and this would be another club record deal, so we’re in uncharted territory.”

Henry has a tendency towards the miserly have been cast aside this summer, with Liverpool having already broken their record for an individual signing in Florian Wirtz and their record for transfer window spending overall.
