Alexander Isak has started the season in fine form for Liverpool under Andoni Iraola.
The Swede already has three Premier League goals to his name and is showing signs of the player he was at Newcastle United.
The Reds completed the signing of Bradley Barcola shortly before the transfer deadline and his arrival is expected to aid Isak’s cause in front of goal.
And the 26-year-old believes Barcola is even quicker than he imagined as the Premier League got a glimpse of his pace during his debut vs Ipswich Town.

“I think he reached a crazy speed against Ipswich and it didn’t even look like he was going full, so he’s really quick.”
Barcola set a Premier League season record by reaching a top speed of 35.9 km/h (22.3 mph) during his Liverpool debut against Ipswich Town and has already shown flashes of his brilliance.
He is expected to start at the Vitality Stadium tomorrow and will look to score his first goal for the club to give the Reds a priceless away win.
