Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has expressed his admiration for the impact that Alexander Isak is already beginning to make at Anfield. The Scottish international, known for his honesty and leadership both on and off the pitch, was quick to point out that the Swedish striker has shown impressive signs of sharpness and determination despite still adapting to life in Liverpool’s system under Arne Slot.
Speaking after Liverpool’s clash with Southampton, Robertson acknowledged that Isak may still be in the process of regaining full match rhythm, but his potential is undeniable. “He looks fit to me,” Robertson remarked with a smile, underlining his belief that the forward is steadily closing the gap in terms of conditioning and tactical understanding. Such words from a senior figure like Robertson highlight the sense of optimism surrounding Isak’s arrival.
The left-back was particularly delighted to see Isak open his scoring account in a Liverpool shirt, something every striker longs for when joining a new club. “The first one is always the hardest,” Robertson noted, recognizing the psychological barrier that comes with breaking the deadlock. For Isak, finding the net against Southampton could prove to be the springboard for a run of goals, helping him settle into the demanding environment of the Premier League and, more importantly, Liverpool’s title-chasing ambitions.
Robertson also emphasized the importance of Isak’s presence within the squad, praising not only his technical ability but also his mentality. “I am delighted for him and delighted to have him in the door,” he said, pointing to how seamlessly the striker has blended with his teammates. This kind of endorsement reflects the collective spirit within Liverpool’s dressing room, where new arrivals are often welcomed warmly but are also expected to perform at the highest level.
With Isak’s qualities—his movement, composure, and natural finishing instincts—Robertson has no doubt that Liverpool supporters will witness many more goals from the former Newcastle striker. The Anfield faithful are already buzzing with excitement, and if Robertson’s words are anything to go by, Isak could very well become the latest attacking hero to light up the Kop.
