Liverpool Remain Keen On Recruiting This Newcastle United Centre-Forward: Dream Signing For Slot? | OneFootball

In a recent post on X, journalist Sebastien Vidal mentioned that Liverpool remain keen on recruiting Newcastle United centre-forward Alexander Isak. It has been claimed that the Reds are keen on resuming talks with the Magpies over a deal for the Swedish striker in this transfer window.

Isak’s Impressive Form In English Football

Isak enjoyed a productive campaign with the Tyneside club recently as he was responsible for putting in a series of impressive performances for them in front of the opponent’s goal. The 25-year-old banged in 27 goals and grabbed six assists in 42 matches for the Magpies last season across all fronts.

The Sweden international led the line well for Newcastle based on his average of 3.1 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 43.2% of his attempts on target. Isak even distributed the ball relatively well after completing 75.3% of his attempted passes in top-flight football (stats via fbref.com).

Isak’s current deal at St. James’ Park will run out in the summer of 2028. Hence, it won’t be easy for Newcastle to get a deal done for him this off-season.

Is Isak A Dream Signing For Liverpool?

Isak excels at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has proven his worth as a prolific goal-scorer in the final third and can create the odd chance for his teammates in the final third.

The Swedish sensation is a good dribbler with the ball and can use his strong 1.92m frame to win his fair share of aerial duels in the opponent’s half. However, he needs to work on improving his link-up play and securing more assists for his team up top

We can expect Isak to bring more firepower to Liverpool head coach Arne Slot’s attack. He is good enough to nail down a regular first-team spot at Anfield.

At 25, Isak has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a dream signing for the Reds to consider in this summer transfer window. Hence, Slot should focus on getting a deal done for him as he would help the Merseyside club challenge for a lot of major trophies over the next few years.
