Reds have “growing interest” in Alexander Isak – Latest Liverpool FC News

Liverpool continue to reportedly pursue a summer move for Alexander Isak, amid plenty of reaction to the Reds’ 2-0 win against Newcastle.

Isak was ruled out of last night’s Premier League clash at Anfield through injury, which was a bit of good luck for Liverpool.

The Reds have been linked with an audacious summer move for the Swede, and according to the Times‘ Martin Hardy, they have a “growing interest” in him.

Arsenal are seen a long-term “suitors” for Isak, but Newcastle are understandably desperate to keep him, and his current deal doesn’t expire until 2028.

The thought of Liverpool signing the 25-year-old this summer is mouthwatering, coming in as an upgrade on their current central options.

For now, though, it may just have to be a case of wishful thinking!

Henry Jackson and Dan Clubbe have looked back on yet another Liverpool win, debating whether the title is done or not:

“Is there a way I can say yes without saying yes? If so, yeah.

“What I will say for certain is that no team in the country is doing anything like what we’re doing. It’s that simple.

“Anfield and all of us as fans are very much allowed to dream and cast our minds to what might come soon.

“Now you’re gonna believe us…”

On this day in 2022, Liverpool secured League Cup glory after a dramatic win over Chelsea in the final at Wembley.

Neither side could find a goal in 90 minutes and extra-time, with penalties deciding the victor.

In a memorable shootout, it was Liverpool who eventually prevailed 11-10, with Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga missing the decisive spot-kick.

It was the Reds’ ninth League Cup triumph – they made it 10 a couple of years later, once again seeing off the Blues in the final.

Will it become 11 next month?
