Liverpool forward Alexander Isak has recorded three goals in his first three Premier League appearances for the club. Following a slow start due to injury and a lack of pre-season training, his recent form aligns with his record-setting transfer fee.

Liverpool previously tracked Isak during his tenure in Spain and now seeks a specialist right-winger to address a vacancy left by the departure of Mo Salah.
