What happened. Alexander Isak said joining Liverpool was an easy decision, citing the club's ambition and determination to sign him. He moved from Newcastle on transfer deadline day in September 2025 for a British record £125m.

• Isak missed pre-season and trained at Real Sociedad amid uncertainty over his Newcastle future.
• A leg break ruled him out from December to April in his first Liverpool season.
• This season he has matched last season's three Premier League goals in just four games.

“It was a big part of it.”

— Alexander Isak

Isak is optimistic about the season after a strong start, having also made his World Cup bow for Sweden.
