Liverpool’s remarkable summer spending spree continues to make waves, as Swedish forward Alexander Isak has officially joined the Premier League champions. The highly sought-after striker revealed the reasons behind his move in a recent interview.
Following their £127 million acquisition of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and the signing of Jeremie Frimpong, Liverpool have now landed another major talent in Alexander Isak—despite heavy interest from rivals like Arsenal.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Isak explained: “The decision was easy. Liverpool’s ambition, their style of play, and the chance to work with Arne Slot made everything click. I want to win trophies, and this is the perfect place for that.”
Isak had an outstanding season at Newcastle United, scoring 26 goals and assisting 6 times across 42 appearances. His stellar performances caught the eye of Europe’s elite, but Liverpool’s determination—and a willingness to pay over £150 million—proved decisive.
Sources indicate the Reds see Isak as the final piece of their revamped attacking line. His arrival may pave the way for Darwin Núñez’s exit, with the Uruguayan linked to a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia.
Additionally, Luis Díaz, Harvey Elliott, and Diogo Jota could also be on the transfer list as Liverpool reshape their forward options under Slot’s leadership.
Isak also shared his excitement about the move:
“Playing at Anfield has always been a dream of mine. I’ve seen the fans, the energy—it’s incredible. Now I’m part of it. I can’t wait to get started.”
With Milos Kerkez expected to arrive from Bournemouth soon, Liverpool’s total summer spending may exceed £300 million—marking the beginning of a bold new chapter under Arne Slot
