Liverpool supporters will be split on this latest update, but most will see Alexander Isak as exactly the calibre of forward who could elevate Arne Slot’s side to another level.

More speculation has been caused by Isak’s likely decision to snub the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) awards gala on Tuesday. BBC Sport claim that the 25-year-old forward, who is one of six nominees for the marquee Players’ Player of the Year gong, is not expected to attend the ceremony which will be held at the Manchester Opera House.
