Liverpool could be handed a big boost in their attempt to sign Alexander Isak, according to the latest report from Spain.

Isak has become one of the most-discussed players this season due to his impressive form for Newcastle United.

The Sweden international has scored 17 goals in the league while also providing five assists.

His performances have caught the attention of Europe’s biggest clubs, with Arsenal, Barcelona, and Liverpool all monitoring his situation.

Liverpool, in particular, are seriously considering a move.

With uncertainty surrounding Darwin Nunez’s future, Liverpool are interested in a proven goal-scorer to lead the attack.

Isak fits the profile perfectly: quick, strong, and clinical in front of goal.

His numbers back up the hype.

He ranks in the top 10% of Premier League strikers for key stats, including non-penalty goals, expected goals, progressive carries, and shot-creating actions.

However, Newcastle are unwilling to sell and has slapped a £150m price tag on him. The Magpies see Isak as their key player for the future and want to build around him.

Still, they could be forced to lower the player’s price tag according to the latest report from Spanish paper Sport.
