Liverpool latest: Andoni Iraola’s striker plan as Kylian Mbappe breaks silence on transfer

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola remains undefeated through seven competitive matches in his debut campaign at Anfield. Heading into the international break, Iraola is focusing on striker Alexander Isak, who joined the club in a £125m permanent transfer from Newcastle United. Although Isak has scored four goals this season, Iraola reportedly expects him to adapt his playing style, spearhead a high press with greater intensity, and improve off-the-ball movement alongside Florian Wirtz.

Reports indicate that Iraola is showing Isak footage of youngster Lewis Koumas to refine his defensive contributions and positioning. Meanwhile, Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe recently confirmed in an interview that he held discussions with Liverpool regarding a potential move in 2017 while playing for Monaco, noting that his mother favored a switch to the Merseyside club.
