Liverpool and Newcastle United are in talks over signing Alexander Isak, with a reliable journalist revealing how things are between the two Premier League clubs, as the striker’s feelings about a successful Anfield transfer are also revealed.

No formal contact has been made between Newcastle and Liverpool, who saw an earlier informal approach for Isak swiftly rebuffed and pivoted to sign Hugo Ekitiké from Eintracht Frankfurt. The Reds are prepared to lodge a record-breaking bid if Newcastle indicate any willingness to get a deal done.
