Alexander Isak is now ready to start firing for Liverpool – Arne Slot

“I think now he has had his five, six weeks of pre-season which is normal for every player, especially if you have been out for three or four months,” said the Dutchman.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot insists British record signing Alexander Isak’s season starts now as he believes the striker has finally reached a level where he will be fully effective.

The £125million transfer has played just 313 minutes over six appearances, scoring just once in a Carabao Cup win over Southampton, since his move from Newcastle on deadline day as the club sought to ease him into life at Anfield after he missed the whole of pre-season.
