Liverpool are being tipped to announce a deal that 'smashes’ the English record. Here's the latest.

Liverpool have done absolutely incredibly business so far in this transfer window. The Reds broke their transfer record to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, for one.

That's the biggest deal anywhere in this window. Wirtz arrives as one of the most in-demand players on the planet and someone no one saw landing at Liverpool.

It was an incredible coup and the Reds then followed it with Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez. Two brand new full-backs to revitalise the roles.

Not done there, Liverpool signed Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. He's hopefully the future up top for the Reds - a massive talent who can seemingly do it all.

And even after all of this, Liverpool still aren't finish. The biggest is yet to come.

Liverpool push for Alexander Isak

It's not a secret that Liverpool hope to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. What's less clear is how likely that is.

Newcastle do not want to sell and Isak is busy attempting to force their hand. It's something that might just work, too.

Journalist Keith Downie has shared his take on the saga, believing it results in Liverpool announcing an English-record transfer.

“As you all know, his head’s been turned," said Downie on YouTube. "I fully expect if Liverpool come to the table and offer a big offer, that deal will get done. It’s just whether Liverpool can come up with the funds or not.

“I know Newcastle have set the fee at £150m and that’s what they want. I think they’ll end up doing a deal for around about £135m, something like that, which still smashes the Premier League record.

“I just think, ‘What’s the point in having a player who’s unsettled, who’s unhappy, who’s maybe causing some problems?’… I think once a player’s head is turned, it’s hard to get them on it.”
