"Liverpool smashed the Premier League transfer record for the second time in the same window on Monday, following up their £108m move for Florian Wirtz by splashing £125m on Isak. That deal concluded a long-running saga that saw Isak accuse Newcastle of breaking promises regarding his future and train away from Eddie Howe's first-team squad. Newcastle clinched deals for forwards Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa before the transfer deadline passed,"
"But Gordon, who is serving a three-match ban after being sent off in a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool, hopes Isak enjoys success on Merseyside. "Regardless of the situation and what's gone on, it's been a pleasure to play with you," Gordon wrote on his Instagram story. "One of the best chemistries I've had on the pitch and, more importantly, a great person and team-mate. I wish you nothing but the best brother.""
Alexander Isak completed a British-record transfer to Liverpool for £125m after Liverpool also signed Florian Wirtz for £108m earlier in the window. Isak had accused Newcastle of breaking promises and trained away from the first-team amid the transfer saga. Newcastle signed Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa before the deadline, but many supporters reacted angrily to Isak's departure, chanting at him during a goalless draw with Leeds. Anthony Gordon, serving a three-match ban after a red card in a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool, praised Isak's on-field chemistry and wished him well. Isak scored 54 Premier League goals for Newcastle.
