"Liverpool forked out 125million to sign Alexander Isak (Image credit: Nikki Dyer - LFC/Liverpool FC via Getty Images) Alexander Isak to Liverpool was the summer's big transfer saga, with the Reds finally getting their man on the final day of the window. The Swede cost Liverpool 125million and joins an attack that already has last season's Premier League Golden Boot winner Mohamed Salah, plus 79million summer signing Hugo Ekitike in their ranks."
"You cannot condone refusing to play or train, adds Owen. But I understood, in a way, he saw this as an opportunity of a lifetime. You only get one life, one career. Maybe he saw this as his chance to play for probably the best team in the world as Liverpool presently are. It sounded fairly amicable at the start, when he made his feelings known."
Liverpool completed a £125 million signing of Alexander Isak on the final day of the transfer window. Isak joins a forward line that includes Mohamed Salah and summer signing Hugo Ekitike. Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen praised Isak's finishing, intelligence, touch, size, presence and personality and described the transfer as ambitious. Isak refused to train at Newcastle and maintained fitness at Real Sociedad's training ground during the saga. Newcastle recruited Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa as replacements before the deal was finalised. The transfer process became public and fractious at times.
