Liverpool has learned how much it would cost for them to sign Newcastle United's star forward Alexander Isak

Newcastle’s preparation for the Carabao Cup final has been disastrous so far, with Sven Botman set to undergo knee surgery and fellow defender Lewis Hall having already been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a foot injury sustained against Liverpool last month that also needs an operation.

The Reds have been tipped to move for the striker this summer

Isak is a world-class operator, and he has the personality to boot. Indeed, according to Chris Waugh, speaking on The Athletic FC Podcast, Isak has a great personality behind the scenes at Newcastle, blending a laid-back persona well with a massively driven need for perfection.

Ian Wright fears Alexander Isak will snub Arsenal this summer in favour of a move to another Premier League club. The Newcastle United and Sweden striker is believed to be Mikel Arteta’s dream transfer signing for an Arsenal team that are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements.

There are hopes Alexander Isak could be fit to feature against West Ham after the forward was pictured being put through his paces in Newcastle training on Wednesday. Isak missed Newcastle’s Premier League defeat at Liverpool due to a groin problem but returned to Eddie Howe’s starting XI at Brighton on Sunday.
