Liverpool played a derby away to Everton yesterday, and until the 97th minute it looked like they would take three points. However, in the final moments of the match they conceded a goal that brought them only one point, and the match ended with a score of 2:2. This unexpected outcome left many in Liverpool dissatisfied.
New striker on the horizon
Several sources from England say that Liverpool manager Arne Slot has already made a key decision just a day after the match with Everton, and that decision concerns the arrival of a new striker. According to reports, it is Newcastle star Alexander Isak, who has gained a great reputation in England during the season. Although many have linked Isak with Arsenal, it seems that the Swedish striker will arrive at Anfield this summer.
Isak is one of the best attacking figures in European football this season, scoring as many as 17 goals in the Premier League. Due to his performances, numerous clubs have shown interest in him, and Newcastle have already tried to sign a new, better contract with their striker. However, this did not work out, and according to current information, it does not look like a deal will be reached.
Arsenal also tried to bring Isak last summer, but it was not possible to reach an agreement with Newcastle as they were asking for around 135 million euros for him. However, now Liverpool have entered the game. With the financial power they have, they can easily meet Newcastle's demands and bring the striker to Anfield. Isak himself has reportedly already given the green light for the transfer, as his desire is to play in the Champions League and in a club that will fight for trophies, which Liverpool can guarantee.
For Newcastle, a successful entry into the Champions League at the end of the season represents the last chance to keep Isak for at least another year. However, everyone is aware that Liverpool is the hardest club to refuse, especially when they are offered such an opportunity.
