Michael Owen Reveals Why Alexander Isak Could Be Liverpool’s Secret Weapon This Season
Alexander Isak to Liverpool was the summer’s big transfer saga, with the Reds finally getting their man on the final day of the window.
The Swede cost Liverpool £125million and joins an attack that already has last season’s Premier League Golden Boot winner Mohamed Salah, plus £79million summer signing Hugo Ekitike in their ranks.
But former Reds striker Michael Owen – ranked at no.39 in FourFourTwo’s list of the greatest Liverpool players ever – believes that it was little surprise that Liverpool to build strength on strength this summer.
Owen on Isak to Liverpool
“Last season, he was arguably the best centre forward in the world, he was just incredible,” Owen tells FourFourTwo. “A great finisher, intelligent, good touch, size, presence and personality. It was not a surprise that Liverpool wanted him, but it was always going to be an ambitious deal, especially as they still needed to strengthen elsewhere.”
The transfer saga saw Isak refusing to train at Newcastle, instead opting to maintain his fitness at former club Real Sociedad’s training ground this summer, with the deal only getting done after the Magpies had brought in replacements in the form of Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa.
