The Swedish striker is eager to leave Newcastle and Arne Slot's side could land him alongside another elite forward, reports on Sunday are claiming

Liverpool are 'getting close' to offloading Luis Diaz as they are 'not far off' an agreement with Bayern Munich, according to reports.

Alexander Isak has been linked with a summer switch to Liverpool after informing Newcastle United of his desire to leave.

Liverpool’s admiration for Isak isn’t new. The Swedish international has long drawn glances from Anfield, but recent developments have added real urgency. According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Isak recently asked not to travel with Newcastle’s squad on their pre-season tour — a move that rarely signifies contentment.

Arsenal are the other club that have been most readily linked with Isak given their desperate need for a new No.9. However, given the finances involved in a deal for the Newcastle man, the Gunners also turned to an alternative in his Sweden teammate Viktor Gyökeres.

Rebecca Lowe, Tim Howard, and Robbie Earle have a roundtable discussion regarding Liverpool's outlook next season if they're able to sign star striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle.

Newcastle fans can feel justifiably angry by the notion that a team will waltz off with their No 9 with a flutter of eyelashes and a wad of cash. Isak is Newcastle’s best striker since Alan Shearer and is already one of the world’s elite forwards.

Alexander Isak has made no secret of his desire to join Liverpool, but his hopes of landing one of his favoured shirt numbers will depend on current Reds players
