James' Park for three years.The striker has scored just two goals in 15 appearances this season, with just one of his strikes coming in the Premier League.Struggles with form and injuries mean he's been in and out of Arne Slot's starting line-up, with fellow summer signing Hugo Ekitike hugely impressing in his place.It's been a difficult start to life at Liverpool for Alexander Isak(Image: Getty Images)Ekitike, who is three years younger than Isak, has bagged a club-leading 10 goals across all competitions and has made himself a key part of Slot's Reds, who are now unbeaten in their last five games.

But this game, Isak was different level, so at this point I was like, 'He’s a top-class player.'"I knew he was top class, but this game I was like, [he’s excellent].

He can run in behind, he can come into the ball, and, technically, he’s also really good with the ball. He’s fast, he has a top finish.
