Recently Arne Slot praised the pace of Alexander Isak. He said,
“We have played them twice. In the last game, Alexander Isak wasn’t involved, in the first game he was involved. He is such an important player for them, he’s an unbelievable threat and has the speed that, for example, the attackers of PSG had on Tuesday as well.”
Some of the Reds attackers could leave the club at the end of this season including Mohamed Salah, and Darwin Nunez.
So, the Reds want to sign someone who can fit into the team fast and is also very good with pace. That’s why Alexander Isak could be a perfect choice for the Merseyside.
