Liverpool have made an approach to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. The Premier League champions would be willing to offer around £120 million but that has prompted the hierarchy at St James’ Park to reiterate the message that their star player is not available this summer.

Liverpool have registered their interest in signing Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak this summer as they continue their search for a No.9, a source has told ESPN.

The ECHO understands that Liverpool have stepped up their attempts to sign a new striker, with Isak emerging as the leading target. The Premier League champions are long-term admirers of the 25-year-old, who has been valued at approaching £100m.
