Alexander Isak is expected to have a big impact on the Carabao Cup final.

The Swedish striker has been in the form of his life this season and Newcastle fans are relying on the 25-year-old to end their trophy drought at Wembley on Sunday.

The fitness of Isak was in question ahead of the EFL Cup finale, however, the Magpies ace was always going to be available to face Liverpool.

His presence became even more important following the suspension of Anthony Gordon, who will miss Newcastle’s match with Liverpool after picking up a red card in the Magpies’ FA Cup clash with Brighton earlier this month.

Given his performances this season at Newcastle, Liverpool have become interested in Isak and will look for a way to bring the striker to Anfield this summer.

The arrival of the 25-year-old would be huge for the Reds and they may fund the transfer by selling Darwin Nunez to Saudi Arabia.

Speaking to the media ahead of Newcastle’s match with Liverpool on Sunday, Isak showed the Premier League leaders another reason why they should do everything to bring the forward to Merseyside.

Isak has scored 22 goals, alongside producing five assists, across 32 games for Newcastle this season but the Swedish talent is more than just his numbers.

A transfer for the 25-year-old will cost interested clubs a lot of money and should it come down to it, Ian Wright feels Isak will pick Liverpool over Arsenal should both clubs move for the Newcastle ace.

Whatever Newcastle want Liverpool should pay it as Isak could be the Merseyside club’s striker for many years and given how perfect he is for Slot’s system, there is no way the transfer would be a failure.
