Alexander Isak filmed in Liverpool shirt ahead of £130m Newcastle transfer confirmation

Video: Isak filmed in Liverpool shirt ahead of transfer confirmation

Alexander Isak appears to have been filmed in a Liverpool shirt as confirmation of his £130m move from Newcastle United edges ever closer.

The Sweden international's determination to force a move to the Premier League champions finally won out on deadline day, as the Reds agreed to make him their most expensive player in history, as well as the most expensive British transfer of all time.

Isak underwent his medical tests with Liverpool earlier this afternoon, and the 25-year-old has now seemingly been seen in a Reds jersey for the first time.

A video uploaded to X - formerly known as Twitter - from @ItsChrisOnX appears to show Isak donning the Liverpool shirt at Kirkby before disappearing out of view with members of his entourage.

Confirmation of Isak's unprecedented arrival is expected to arrive imminently, as the Reds prepare to break their transfer record twice in the same window following the £116m signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

Isak joins the holders with a record of 62 goals and 11 assists to show from 109 matches in a Newcastle United shirt, including a stellar 23 goals in the 2024-25 Premier League season, only behind Mohamed Salah's 29.

The Scandinavian striker might be Liverpool's penultimate arrival of the summer window, as the club have submitted a deal sheet for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, whom they have agreed a £35m fee for.

The Reds therefore have until 9pm to get a deal for the Englishman over the line, although the transfer is still in the balance, even after Palace confirmed the signing of a highly-rated centre-back.
