FOOTBALL – Alexander Isak’s move to Liverpool is said to be on the verge of being confirmed, with Newcastle United claimed to have accepted terms from the Reds, reports the Daily Express.
The striker has been linked with a move to Anfield for the majority of the summer, and it now looks as if Isak has been granted his wish.
Liverpool have already seen one offer for the Swede knocked back by Newcastle, with a £110 million (148m) bid having been submitted earlier in the window.
Newcastle made it abundantly clear they were only willing to sell if their valuation of £150m was matched, and they were able to secure appropriate replacements in the attacking department.
Newcastle securing the signing of Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart was confirmed yesterday morning, with suggestions that the move has helped soften their stance on allowing Isak to leave.
Transfer insider Jan Aage Fjortoft is now claiming a deal has been struck between Newcastle and Liverpool, with a fee in the region of £130m being spoken about.
