Liverpool struggles after Isak's difficult season post-transfer from Newcastle
Summary

Alexander Isak's first season at Liverpool has been marred by injuries and underperformance following his £125m move from Newcastle. He scored just four goals and played only 21% of available minutes due to a severe ankle injury. Liverpool finished fifth in the Premier League, significantly behind champions Arsenal, casting doubt on their ambitions. As the club approaches a managerial change, they are optimistic that Isak can regain his form next season after a difficult campaign.
