Apart from Liverpool, few other clubs in the market for a striker could afford Isak's reported £130m price tag. "As the most profitable club in Premier League history, Arsenal could easily spend over £200m in the window and have no PSR concerns," said football finance expert Kieran Maguire.

Liverpool have made an approach to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. The Merseyside club say no formal offer has been submitted as they are well aware Newcastle’s stance has always been that Isak is not for sale. However, they have communicated their interest to do a deal in the region of £120million.

Liverpool have ramped up their interest in Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak and believe that he wants to move to Anfield this summer.
