Liverpool Learn About Alexander Isak's True Character by Those Who Know Him Best

Alexander Isak's £125 million transfer to Liverpool ended months of tension after he refused to play for Newcastle, sparking fan backlash and club disappointment.

  • Alexander Isak fulfilled his desire to move to Liverpool, according to Alan Shearer, a former Newcastle captain, who remarked, 'Ultimately, he got his move to Liverpool, that’s what he wanted.'
  • Shearer criticized Isak's approach, stating, 'I don’t think it’s ever right that a player should go on strike and refuse to play for a club whilst you’re being paid and have a contract.'
  • Marc Guéhi missed his chance to transfer to Liverpool after Crystal Palace could not find a replacement, making it a tough situation for him, as noted by Shearer.
  • Shearer expressed concern that Isak's situation and similar cases have been a 'really bad look for football and for the fans,' emphasizing the negative impact on the sport.
