Arne Slot, fresh off a title-winning debut campaign, has already overseen a near-£300 million summer overhaul. The arrivals of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike signal a clear intention to build a fast, dynamic and young squad capable of sustaining dominance.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich’s transfer fee from the acquisition of Luis Diaz will help fund Liverpool FC ’s next summer blockbuster — a move for Newcastle United star and former Borussia Dortmund striker Alexander Isak: Liverpool are prepared to go big for Alexander Isak after Luis Diaz sale done.

Newcastle United lost out on Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool, and to add insult to that transfer injury, Liverpool might also end up with Alexander Isak, too! Newcastle’s leading goalscorer sure seems to be trying to force a move to the Premier League champions, leaving the Magpies in desperate need of a striker ... or two.
