A startling report has disclosed that Liverpool has received a significant advantage in their quest for Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak.
In spite of finalizing a club record transfer of £116 million for ex-Bayer Leverkusen player Florian Wirtz, along with acquisitions of Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez, it seems that Liverpool’s activities in the transfer market are not yet complete.
Although a transfer for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi is thought to be feasible, it has been widely reported that Newcastle United striker Isak is Arne Slot’s ideal signing this summer.
When the transfer window opened at the start of June, it became evident that numerous prominent clubs in Europe were keen to acquire Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike.
At first, Chelsea, Arsenal, and even Liverpool seemed to be the leading contenders for the 23-year-old. However, recent reports indicate that United might still entice the Frenchman with a transfer to Old Trafford.
Nevertheless, United have suffered a significant setback as Newcastle appears to have taken over a deal for their primary target, which could be advantageous for Liverpool.
Yet, Liverpool is not the only club looking to secure a new number nine this summer, as Manchester United and Arsenal are also reportedly interested in enhancing their attacking roster.
