Liverpool complete deadline-day signing of Alexander Isak from Newcastle

Liverpool have officially signed Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, securing one of the Premier League’s most prolific strikers on a long-term deal. The 25-year-old Sweden international becomes Liverpool’s new No.9, arriving at Anfield on transfer deadline day after successfully completing his medical at the AXA Training Centre.

Isak’s First Words as a Liverpool Player

Speaking to club media after putting pen to paper, Isak expressed his excitement at joining the reigning Premier League champions:

“I feel amazing. It’s been a long journey to get here, but I’m super-happy to be a part of this team, this club and everything it stands for. I’m proud of this move and I can’t wait to get started. Now I’m looking forward to meeting my teammates, the fans, and getting back on the pitch.”

Isak also made his ambitions clear, stressing his hunger for silverware with Jurgen Klopp’s side:

“I think I have a lot to give, and I know I can still improve. I want to help the team with goals and much more than that. My target is simple: I want to win everything.”

A Proven Goal Machine in the Premier League

Since arriving at Newcastle United from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022, Alexander Isak has built a reputation as one of the league’s deadliest finishers. He scored 62 goals in 109 appearances for the Magpies across all competitions, including a stunning 54 goals in just 86 Premier League matches.

Last season was his most prolific yet, netting 23 league goals and finishing second only to Mohamed Salah in the race for the Golden Boot. Now, Salah and Isak will line up together in a Liverpool attack that already boasts some of the league’s most feared forwards.
