"Alexander Isak's long-awaited debut for Liverpool could be just around the corner. It was the transfer saga of the summer, with Isak going on strike from former employers Newcastle United to force through the record-breaking 125m move. That's a lot of pressure on the Sweden international's shoulders ranked at no.4 in FourFourTwo's list of the best strikers in the world right now but the bookies are backing him to hit the ground running."
"The 25-year-old has now had his first training session with his new team-mates following the end of the international break, where Isak linked up with Sweden for games against Slovenia and Kosovo. He's now eyeing a potential debut, as the Reds travel to Burnley in the Premier League this weekend. The Swede will be looking to announce his arrival with a strong performance, whenever Arne Slot opts to hand him his debut."
"Surrounded by such drama and expectation, it might be expected that Isak would need some time to settle in, but the bookies have him down to make an instant impact this season. At William Hill, the Swede has joined Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah as the joint 8/1 favourite to lift this season's PFA Player of the Year award, despite his delayed start to the campaign."
Alexander Isak is poised to make his Liverpool debut after a record-breaking £125m transfer from Newcastle United that followed a strike to force the move. The 25-year-old completed his first training session with Liverpool after international duty with Sweden, where he played against Slovenia and Kosovo, and he is under consideration for selection as Liverpool travel to Burnley. Bookmakers strongly back an immediate impact, listing Isak among favourites for PFA Player of the Year and giving short odds to score on his debut and to outscore Mohamed Salah in the league. Significant pressure and high expectations surround his arrival.
