Liverpool continue to be linked with a move for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak and the Reds have been given fresh hope

Here’s the facts: Isak is one of the hottest central strikers in world soccer and he’s only 25. He’s under contract for three more years. He claims he was promised a dramatically increased contract by Newcastle, who subsequently changed up their executives and then yanked the promise. Liverpool want him, and he wants Liverpool.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot said on Thursday the Premier League champions will only sign the right player for the right price, but refused to be drawn on the club’s position regarding unsettled Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.
