"Liverpool manager Arne Slot has spoken out on the superb work of the club's recruitment team in getting the Alexander Isak transfer deal over the line. The Sweden international ended up joining Liverpool from Newcastle United right at the end of the transfer window in a British record deal. Isak established himself as one of the very finest strikers in Europe during his time at St James' Park, and he should be a very exciting addition to Slot's squad."
"As quoted by Fabrizio Romano in the X post below, Slot said: The thing that pleases me the most is us getting the deal from Isak over the line. Richard, ownership, everyone worked so hard to get that deal done. We've to build him up gradually. We have not signed him for next 2 weeks, we have signed him for six years!"
