A "free bird" who is his own analyst and coach. This is how Alexander Isak is described - the Premier League's most expensive player ever. However, the football journey that started in AIK is not seen as a fairy tale by those who were there from the beginning. Rather, it is the result of many sacrifices and hard work. Now the 25-year-old can make his debut for his new club, Liverpool.
Liverpool football coach Arne Slott said that today the fans should not expect that Alexander Isak will play all the games in the coming weeks, since the Swedish striker is returning to competitive rhythm after a long break.
The 144-million-man Alexander Isak is not to be forced immediately at Liverpool.
