Alexander Isak on brink of Liverpool move on frantic Premier League deadline day
Champions said to have agreed on £125 million deal with Newcastle, who have reportedly bought Yoane Wissa from Brentford
Liverpool have reportedly agreed a British record fee of £125 million (US$169 million) to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle, with the deal set to be completed on a frantic final day of the summer transfer window.
The Sweden striker is understood to have arrived at the club’s training ground on Monday, with a protracted saga nearing an end.
With the Premier League window due to shut at 1800 GMT (Tuesday 2am, Hong Kong time), there are a number of big deals yet to be done as clubs scramble to boost their squads.
Sky Sports reported that Newcastle have agreed a deal to sign Brentford forward Yoane Wissa while Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is set for a move to Manchester City after being told he was surplus to requirements at Paris Saint-Germain.
Manchester United, meanwhile, have been heavily linked with Aston Villa’s World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez as they seek a solution to their goalkeeping crisis.
But all eyes will be on the expected finalising of Isak’s move to Liverpool.
