Liverpool have devised a new £165million plan to sign Alexander Isak this summer. The Reds confirmed their interest in the Newcastle striker earlier this month, expressing a willingness to open talks over a deal for around £120m. Newcastle promptly told them that Isak is not for sale.

Liverpool are ready to bid for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak as soon as they are given any encouragement from the Magpies, Reds transfer expert David Lynch has reiterated. The Reds will take on J1 League side Yokohama F. Marinos on Wednesday, and fans will hope to see striker Hugo Ekitike make his debut for the club.
