Arrival: Alexander Isak
Alexander Isak has arrived for his Liverpool medical as the striker finalises as stunning £130million British record transfer on Deadline Day.
Newcastle on Sunday evening relented to their striker’s wishes, having summer-long insisted he was not for sale.
Liverpool had a £110m offer rejected in August and since then the 25-year-old has not trained with or played for Newcastle.
Isak has accused the club of breaking a commitment that he could leave if a suitable offer came from a big club, and now a deal has been reached to end the impasse.
Incoming: Alexander Isak arriving at Melwood this morning
The striker has on Monday morning been spotted at Liverpool’s Melwood training ground ahead of undergoing a medical and signing a six-year contract.
Standard Sport understands that Newcastle will sign Brentford’s Yoane Wissa, in a deal worth up to £55m, as Isak’s replacement.
Isak will become Liverpool's eighth first-team signing of the summer, marking the second time they have broken their own transfer record following the £116m capture of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
