The Swedish striker joins the Premier League champions from Newcastle for a reported £125million, which smashes the previous record sum paid by Chelsea to Brighton for Moises Caicedo, which stood at £115million.





It is now the first international break of the season, and Isak has been called up by Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson, who stated that, with the striker’s lack of match practice, Liverpool’s new No9 would not play 90 minutes in either of the Scandinavian side’s two World Cup qualifiers.



He is not able to play for 90 minutes, but he can be a game-changer.”

Sweden take on Slovenia on Friday before a trip to Kosovo on Monday.



On Isak’s return to club football, Liverpool travel to Burnley on Sunday, September 14, where he could make his bow.



He could then be in line to make his home debut in the Champions League the following Wednesday, September 17, when Atletico Madrid visit Anfield in the first game of the league phase.

Should Isak not make the squad for the trip to Turf Moor, he might get his first league minutes in the Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield in the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday, September 20.



Arne Slot’s side have a tricky run of games moving into October, with travels to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray rounding off their September, before a visit to Chelsea and a home encounter with Manchester United to follow.
