Liverpool handed huge transfer boost in striker pursuit as deal agreed - Premier League champions are set to bid again for top target

Alexander Isak is having to train away from his Newcastle team-mates in the afternoon amid continued interest from Liverpool, who are in negotiations to see more players exit Anfield

Despite spending close to £300m on seven players, Liverpool can still afford to sign Isak on a record transfer fee. The Reds submitted an official bid for the 25-year-old worth a staggering £120m plus add-ons, but it was swiftly rejected.
