Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. Now there's the biggest sign yet that a deal is happening.
Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak but it's far from easy. For one, they've spent a fortune already this summer on some incredible players.

But also for the very simple reason that Newcastle United don't want to sell. Isak is their superstar - the centre of their team and the biggest catalyst for their UEFA Champions League qualification last season.
They're looking to be one of the big guns in the Premier League. Selling Isak makes that more difficult and they've set a British-record asking price.
Though, it's debatable whether that's even an asking price. Newcastle have held, publicly at least, the stance that Isak simply isn't going anywhere.
Until the last week, that is. Isak hasn't been involved in their pre-season, while Eddie Howe quite openly admitted that things are going on behind the scenes with the forward.
. All that stands in the way of it is Newcastle's stance - and now there's a massive sign that is changing.
Newcastle United's interests
Newcastle are out there looking at strikers. They wanted to sign Hugo Ekitike, of course, only to lose out to Liverpool but the Magpies were always adamant that the Frenchman was to play with Isak.
And that's fair enough - but we find it difficult to believe they're looking at both Youane Wissa and Benjamin Sesko to play alongside him. That sounds more like a complete reshuffle up top.
Ben Jacobs claims Newcastle have told RB Leipzig that they'd pay £60m for Sesko. They're just waiting on the player's approval, essentially.
