  • Liverpool have agreed a British record £125m deal to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.
  • The Swedish striker is set to undergo a medical on Merseyside on Monday, making it the third most expensive transfer ever.
  • Isak had not trained or played for Newcastle this season, having refused to feature for the club in an effort to force a move.
  • This transfer will push Liverpool's summer spending beyond £400m, with the club also awaiting a decision on their £35m bid for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
  • Isak, who joined Newcastle for £63m in 2022, scored 62 goals in 109 appearances for the club, including the winning goal against Liverpool in last season’s Carabao Cup final.
