Alexander Isak was snapped up by Liverpool from Newcastle United for a whopping £130m, eclipsing the previous Premier League benchmark set by Enzo Fernandez’s £106m switch to Chelsea. The Swedish sharpshooter, fresh off a blistering 27-goal haul last term, had been locked in a tense standoff with the Magpies, accusing them of broken promises and refusing to train amid his burning desire to join the Anfield juggernaut. Consequently, after an initial £110m bid got the boot, the Reds ramped up their assault, sealing the deal just in time for deadline day drama. Meanwhile, Newcastle’s savvy bosses cashed in only after bagging Nick Woltemade as a ready-made replacement, easing Eddie Howe’s striker woes. Thus, Isak’s silky skills and ice-cold finishing are set to turbocharge Arne Slot’s title-defending Reds, while the Toon Army pockets a fortune to splash on more firepower.
