In a recent segment on his Youtube channel, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano mentioned that Liverpool are ready to launch another move for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak this summer.

Alexander Isak and his representatives could invoke Article 17 to force a move to Liverpool next summer as a free agent, when Newcastle would be due far less than the £110m Reds bid in compensation. Isak released a statement on Tuesday confirming he has no intention of playing for Newcastle again as a result of ‘broken promises’.

Five days out from that game, Newcastle United have received a big fitness boost following pictures of Joe Willock in training with the squad. Willock hasn’t been seen in action since limping off during the final stages of their pre-season defeat against Team K-League in South Korea.

Pundit Don Hutchison has now taken to social media to suggest another striker Liverpool can move to sign – Julian Alvarez. The former Liverpool midfielder believes that Atletico Madrid star Alvarez is the man Liverpool really need, rather than Isak.
