Opinion: The proof that Alexander Isak was worth £125 million

Alexander Isak has found strong form for Liverpool, scoring four goals in his first five games of the season. The 27-year-old Swedish striker joined Liverpool from Newcastle in the summer of 2025 for a British transfer record fee of £125 million, but his debut campaign was disrupted by form struggles and a major injury.

Isak also continued his positive run on the international stage by scoring in Sweden's 2-1 UEFA Nations League victory against Romania. His recent performances have provided a significant boost for Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola, who took over dugout duties tasked with revitalizing the team's key players.
