Arne Slot should think twice before shelling out a British record fee for Alexander Isak - though an update from Newcastle offers Liverpool hope.

Liverpool continues to hold an interest in the Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, with Alan Shearer a huge fan of the Swede, who scored 23 league goals last year.

Liverpool are prepared to sell Alexander Isak to Liverpool if they manage to land Benjamin Sesko, according to reports. The Magpies have submitted a £78million proposal to RB Leipzig for Sesko and they would more than make their money back by selling Isak to the Reds.
