Alexander Isaac joins Liverpool on the transfer deadline from Newcastle United, while Arne Slot speaks about the forward
Arne Slot has made it clear to Liverpool supporters that Alexander Isaac will take action as he told Liverpool supporters that the forward will be treated with caution in the coming weeks. The 25-year-old moved to Anfield on the closing day due to record UK transfer fees, and the move marked an end to a long, portrayal story that lasted 55 days.
Swedish international has effectively been on strike and also issued a terrible statement saying its relationship with the club has ended. As a result of Isaac’s stance, he never appeared at Newcastle United before the season and missed the first three Premier League games of the season.
He also trains alone from the main group, and Slots warns Reds supporters that it will take time for his new recruits to speed up.

He states: “First of all, Swedish manager Thomasson deserves a big tribute because he takes care of the player and understands that he has the best striker in the world and needs him in his country, but he can get hurt, so he deserves a big tribute for it.
“We treat Alex the same way, so don’t expect 90 minutes a week. He missed preseason and team sessions, so we have to build him gradually.
“But it will be a challenge, but we’ve been signing him for six years, so this is something that fans need to keep in mind if I bring him in.
“In football, there’s always criticism and sometimes we cheer on us. After the League Cup, they were happy with him. In other moments, you’re criticized.
Isak joined Newcastle in 2022 on a £60 million move from Real Sociedad, scoring 27 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions last season. The forwards will be joining the offensive lineup that includes Mohamed Sarah, Florian Wiltz, Federico Chiesa, Cody Gakupo and Hugo Ekichike.
And when asked about his options, Slot said: “If you are the first time you ask a question as an LFC manager, the answer is no.
“Diogo (Jota), Darwin (Nunez), Lucho (Luis Diaz), who are no longer here. Jurgen was able to do this in the past, and changed the game as options if necessary.

“I think the players are. Today was the first time I trained with most of them. Curtis Jones was injured in the last game so he wouldn’t be able to use him for the match against Burnley, but everyone came back without any problems.
“That’s not necessarily the case. We’re happy they’re healthy, so Ryan Gravenberch, a big tribute to Swedish manager and several others, started just one Dutch game.”
After returning from international obligations with Sweden, ISAK reported to the AXA Training Centre on Wednesday, and Slot revealed that he had little contact with his new signature.
“Maybe don’t trust me, but I wasn’t telling him that much,” he said. “After he signed, I called him and he had to go to Sweden, but 99% of the time during the break I leave the player for their national manager.
“I’ve texted him once or twice, and we’ll need to know him in the next few days and weeks. But we have such a great culture at this club, so we sign players for his qualities and know how good he is, what quality of player he is.
“I don’t think we can compare it to different owners, different situations under any circumstances.
“We’ve always felt the way we needed another attacking player, so we’re happy to get what we wanted.”
