Liverpool’s striker search is over. New head coach Arne Slot has made a decisive call—and he’s chosen **Alexander Isak** as the man to lead his attack.
After careful consideration of three top targets—Isak, Victor Osimhen, and Hugo Ekitike—Slot has informed the Liverpool board that the Swedish international is his preferred choice to become the club’s new No. 9.
### Why Isak?
Slot is said to be a huge admirer of Isak’s:
* **Technical ability**
* **Composure in front of goal**
* **Versatility in dropping deep and linking play**
According to insiders, Slot sees Isak as the perfect fit for his fast, mobile, and intelligent attacking system—and someone who truly matches **Liverpool’s identity** on the pitch.
### Why Not Osimhen or Ekitike?
* **Victor Osimhen**: His steep price tag and high wage demands made the deal less appealing.
* **Hugo Ekitike**: Considered promising, but more of a future investment than a player for instant impact.
Slot wants results **now**—and Isak offers exactly that.
### The Deal
Liverpool are preparing to approach Newcastle with a bid that could exceed **£75 million**. Despite the hefty price, the club believes Isak’s qualities make the investment worthwhile.
### What This Means
With Liverpool entering a new era under Slot and following the exits of key attackers like Firmino and Mane, this move marks the beginning of a bold rebuild. Isak’s arrival would be a clear statement: **Arne Slot is ready to leave his mark.**
If the deal goes through, Liverpool fans can expect fireworks.
