It has been far from the first season in Liverpool that Alexander Isak would’ve expected. Image Credits: Imago ImagesIt has been a far less successful debut campaign on Merseyside than Alexander Isak or anyone would’ve imagined after he completed his British transfer record switch from Newcastle United last summer.After dispatching the decisive goal in the Carabao Cup Final just a few months earlier that eliminated Liverpool at Wembley, the Reds poured their efforts into getting the star striker.After a heavily disrupted summer for the Swede that included the player going on strike to force through the move, a deal was finally struck on Deadline Day.Acquiring a striker who had shone in the toughest league in the world was seen as a major coup, with the world expecting Arne Slot to immediately build on the success of winning the Premier League title in his debut season.That has been far from the case, with Alexander Isak’s disrupted pre-season forbidding him from hitting the ground running at Anfield with a broken leg further derailing his plans for a successful start.Despite the disappointment of Liverpool’s title defence, Arne Slot remains committed to turning things around next season and has said a big transfer window will help that.When Alexander Isak has been on the pitch it is clear that the striker has been starved of opportunities to make any real impact on the game.Isak has been restricted to minimal touches and as a result, Paul Gorst via the Liverpool Echo has revealed that Slot is determined to introduce more speed and power to his frontline, with the aim of supplying £125m Alexander Isak with more chances to prove why the club broke the bank to land him from Newcastle United on transfer deadline day.With the backing of Arne Slot to build the team around Alexander Isak, he could unlock a new level to his game next season and that is an exciting thought. alexander isak
