Liverpool Are Eyeing Another Move For Newcastle United Forward Isak: Dream Choice For Slot? | OneFootball

In a recent interview with Football Insider, former scout Mike Brown claimed that Liverpool are eyeing another move for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak this summer. Brown said, “Newcastle aren’t being held to ransom.

“They don’t want to let Isak go, but if he’s going to keep pushing and refusing to play and all of that, then I expect they’ll be prepared to accept an offer.

“I hear Liverpool are going to come in with another offer, because they still want to bring him in.

“That offer will likely be upwards of £120million, apparently that’s the minimum Newcastle are asking for.

“They’ve gone to £110million, but haven’t gone any further and everybody knows the situation, but it’s in everybody’s interest to reach an agreement.

“If they do come in with this new offer, I think it’s got a better chance of being accepted.

“From Liverpool’s point of view, I think they’re confident because the player wants the move.

“A higher fee, Newcastle might look at it and say if he’s not going to get on with it and stay there, then they’re better off letting him go.“

Isak’s Impressive Numbers In English Football

Isak had a productive season at the Tyneside club recently as he put in a lot of impressive displays for them in the final third. The Swedish talent scored 27 goals and earned six assists in 42 matches for Newcastle last season across multiple competitions.

The 25-year-old did well to average 3.1 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 43.2% of his attempts on target. Isak was even tidy when distributing possession in the opponent’s half, as evidenced by his pass success rate of 75.3% in the English first division (stats via fbref.com).

Will Isak Be A Dream Choice For Liverpool Boss Arne Slot?

Isak is proficient at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He is a deadly finisher in front of the opponent’s goal, but needs to work on improving his link-up play up top.

The Swedish sensation can even make some dangerous runs with the ball. He has already proven his worth in the Premier League and would be a great addition to Liverpool‘s squad this summer.

Isak would add more firepower to Arne Slot’s attack. He has what it takes to nail down a regular first-team spot at the Merseyside club. Furthermore, Isak could even help the Reds challenge for a lot of major honours over the next few years. Hence, he would be a dream choice for Liverpool to consider this summer.
