Alexander Isak: Liverpool Move Was an "Easy Decision"
The Sweden striker says he never regretted leaving Newcastle for Liverpool, having already matched last season's Premier League goal tally in just four games.
Alexander Isak has described his £125m move from Newcastle to Liverpool as an "easy decision", 12 months after the British transfer record was set on deadline day in September 2025.
The Sweden striker missed pre-season last year and trained at his former club Real Sociedad amid a standoff over his Newcastle future, saying promises made to him there had been broken. He managed two goals before the injury.
He has already matched last season's tally of three Premier League goals, doing so in just four games this time. Asked whether he ever regretted the move during that difficult first campaign, Isak was blunt.
He logged 1,032 minutes and 22 appearances last season, then headed to the tournament. Isak made his tournament debut for Sweden, scoring once and assisting three times under Graham Potter before France knocked them out in the last 32.
If the early-season form holds, Potter shifts the press, and Isak finds space.
