**Alexander Isak** has officially sealed a British-record £125 million (AU$258 million) move to Liverpool from Newcastle following a frantic final day of the Premier League transfer window.
The Sweden striker arrived at Liverpool’s training ground on Monday as the saga reached its end. He is contracted until June 2031.
“I feel amazing,” Isak said.
“It’s been a long journey to get here. But I’m super-happy to be a part of this team, this club and everything it stands for. It’s something I’m proud of and I’m really looking forward to it.
“I’m just happy it’s done and that I can get back to work. I’m looking forward to seeing my teammates and the fans, and getting back out there.”
With the Premier League window shutting at Tuesday morning at 4am AEST, clubs strengthened their rosters overnight with a number of big deals.
Newcastle agreed to a deal to sign Brentford forward **Yoane Wissa** for £55 million (AU$113 million), while Italy goalkeeper **Gianluigi Donnarumma** was set for a move to Manchester City after being told he was surplus to requirements at Paris Saint-Germain.

Struggling Manchester United were understood to have agreed a deal to sign Belgian goalkeeper **Senne Lammens** from Royal Antwerp for an initial 21 million euros (AU$37 million) as they seek to address their goalkeeping problems.
But most eyes were on the expected finalising of Isak’s move to Liverpool. The 25-year-old has made clear his desire to leave Newcastle even though he has three years remaining on his contract.
The Anfield club had a £110 million (AU$227 million) offer for the forward rejected last month and since then he has not trained with or played for Newcastle.
However, Isak officially became Liverpool’s eighth first-team signing of the summer window, and his purchase marks the second time that they have broken their own transfer record following the capture of **Florian Wirtz** from Bayer Leverkusen for an initial fee of £100 million (AU$206 million).
“I think I have a lot to give, I think I have a lot to improve. I’m a striker but I always want to give as much as possible to the team, mainly goals but much more than that as well,” Isak continued.
“I want to create history. I want to win trophies.”
Arne Slot’s side, who beat Arsenal 1-0 on Sunday to maintain their perfect Premier League record this season, were also reported to have agreed a £35 million (AU$72 million) deal to sign Crystal Palace and England defender **Marc Guehi**.
However, in a late twist, Crystal Palace didn’t approve of the move at the eleventh hour, with Guehi staying put.
Newcastle last week signed German international striker **Nick Woltemade** for a club-record fee reported to be worth up to £69 million (AU$142 million).
That paved the way for the potential departure of Isak, who scored 27 goals for Eddie Howe’s team in all competitions last season.
The Magpies will have further strengthened their attack with the arrival of Wissa, who on Sunday urged Brentford to “keep their word” and allow him to leave.
Now it appears that the DR Congo forward, who scored 19 Premier League goals last season, has his wish, giving Saudi-owned Newcastle extra firepower as they prepare for their Champions League campaign.
Donnarumma, who won the Champions League with PSG in May, is poised for a move to City, with the Premier League club understood to have agreed a fee of around 35 million euros (AU$62 million).
Ederson, City’s long-serving Brazilian goalkeeper, is understood to be on the radar of Turkish side Fenerbahce.
Man United have endured poor starts to the season from goalkeepers Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir.
The club had been linked with Argentina stopper **Emiliano Martinez**, who was not included in Aston Villa’s matchday squad for their 3-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
But the 20-time Premier League champions appear to have opted for the potential of Lammens over the experience of the World Cup-winning Martinez.
United are also understood to have agreed to sell Brazil winger Antony to Real Betis.
Villa were reported to have agreed a loan deal for United winger Jadon Sancho and have also signed former Old Trafford defender Victor Lindelof on a free transfer.
Sancho has flopped since making a £73 million (AU$151 million) move to United from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 and spent last season at Chelsea on loan.
Villa are also expected to tie up a loan deal for Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott.
Chelsea signed Brighton winger Facundo Buonanotte on a season-long loan. The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Leicester, scoring five goals in 31 Premier League appearances.
Tottenham have reportedly agreed a season-long loan deal to sign PSG striker **Randal Kolo Muani**.
