Liverpool might have a secret weapon up their sleeve when it comes to agreeing on a deal with Newcastle United for Alexander Isak. The Reds are among the clubs being linked to the Magpies marksman, with Isak having shone in the Premier League this season.

Alexander Isak or Hugo Ekitike? Liverpool want a new striker next season and the decision appears to have taken a twist.

Alexander Isak has been ruled out of Newcastle ’s Premier League clash with Liverpool due to a groin injury. ‘Alexander Isak misses out through a slight groin problem this evening,’ a brief message on Newcastle’s official X account read ahead of kick-off.
