Liverpool continue to be linked with a move for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak before the summer transfer window closes on September 1

Fenway Sports Group signed a star player to a lucrative $130M contract on Wednesday, though Liverpool fans will be disappointed to learn that the deal wasn't for Alexander Isak

Isak did not travel with his team-mates on their pre-season trip to Singapore and South Korea, ostensibly because of a minor thigh injury, after Liverpool, who subsequently tabled a £110million bid for him, let it be known they remained interested in acquiring his services.
