Alexander Isak sighting fuels claims of Liverpool agreement
Alexander Isak has been spotted and it only fuels claims that he's got an agreement with Liverpool. Watch this space. Reports are everywhere right now that Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak. In truth, they've wanted to land the Swede all year. LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now It's just that no one is sure how possible that is. Liverpool are happy to pay a British transfer record fee but there's no guarantee that Newcastle United would accept it. They're not happy with the idea of losing their star player. Not when they harbour dreams of being one of the Premier League's top dogs. Keeping Isak would be ideal, then - something to build on after qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. But it's looking less and less likely. Alexander Isak spotted El Diario Vasco reports that Isak has been seen training alone at Real Sociedad's training ground. The forward played there before joining Newcastle, of course. He's apparently working with a personal trainer ahead of the upcoming season, completely apart from Newcastle. Isak is not on their pre-season tour and now it appears he's not even with the club at all. This is hot on the heels of Sky Germany claiming he has an agreement with Liverpool. They suggest the Reds have offered Isak a six-year contract on a much higher wage.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot pleased to see 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha having an impact
Ngumoha, who joined from Chelsea a year ago, has been one of the stand-out players in the Reds' two matches in the Far East and produced another impressive cameo off the bench, capped by a brilliant individual strike, in a 3-1 over Yokohama F Marinos in Tokyo. Fellow academy graduate Trey Nyoni, 18 last month, scored Liverpool's second goal after club-record signing Florian Wirtz had opened his account for the club with the equaliser just after the hour mark. Love it, Rio ✨ — Liverpool FC (@LFC) July 30, 2025 Liverpool's spending this summer may be approaching £300million, but Slot believes there is always a place for academy players who can contribute. 'Rio again showed the quality he has and that's nice for us because we have a lot of very good players,' Slot said at his post-match press conference. 'But to get some very good players through the academy is always helpful and always gives energy to a team as well. 'It's always nice to see young players from 16, 17 or 18 years old already impacting a game. If you are 16 and you can impact the game like he did, that's definitely worth a compliment.' Slot did, however, sound a word of caution. 'There was also a moment in the game where he should have squared it to Macca (Alexis Mac Allister) or Curtis (Jones) so (there are) also learning parts for him,' he added. Forward Hugo Ekitike made his first start since last week's £79million move from Eintracht Frankfurt and played the first 45 minutes, while another new signing, Giorgi Mamardashvili, started in goal after Alisson Becker returned to Brazil for personal reasons. After conceding 10 minutes into the second half Liverpool turned things around with the help of their youngsters. 'More than a few times there were some very good moments in build-up, but what I also saw in the goal we conceded and in the first half the big chance we conceded was that we had to work harder in those moments to sprint back than we did,' said Slot. 'That is something that also happened to us when we played Milan. It could be (to do) with a tough training camp and it could be (to do) with the heat circumstances – but that's something that we definitely have to improve towards Bilbao (on Monday). 'I thought last season was already tough, but if you look at what all the Premier League teams are doing, the Premier League is even going to get stronger. Hugo's first appearance for the Reds 🤩🔴 — Liverpool FC (@LFC) July 30, 2025 'We need to be ready for that – that's where my full focus is at the moment. 'We are making steps forward, but I also didn't forget that last season I went to Wembley, having to look at Newcastle lifting a trophy. 'In two weeks we go there again so I hope we show a different face in that final, the Community Shield, than we did in the League Cup final.'
