Alexander Isak
26-Year-Old
Liverpool
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Isak is coming off his best season as a professional, lighting the league up with a career-high 23 goals, finishing second in the Golden Boot race. He added six assists and had multi-goal contribution games in six different outings. While seemingly dealing with a nagging injury the majority of the second half of the season, he battled through and started 34 matches. His summer has been thrown into disarray as he pushes for a move away from Newcastle. With reports that he is refusing to play for the club again it's hard to see him suiting up on Tyneside during the 2025/26 campaign. If he does get his move to Liverpool he would remain one of the top strikers in the league and an elite option in all competitions.
Finds bench role
Isak (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Chelsea.
ANALYSIS
Isak returned to partial training Thursday for the first time after a groin issue, with manager Arne Slot expressing hope that he could build on that ahead of Friday's session and potentially feature in some capacity against Chelsea. The forward's progression has been encouraging, and while a starting role came too soon given the limited training time behind him, his presence on the bench is a significant boost for Liverpool heading into a crucial fixture. The coach made clear his involvement would depend on how well he came through the final session, and the club opted for a cautious but optimistic approach to his reintegration.

Trains, close call Saturday

So that's a positive. Yesterday he did parts of it, so hopefully he can do parts - or everything - today, and let's then see how much we're going to use him tomorrow."

Out to face United
Isak is out for Sunday's match against Manchester United due to an apparent groin injury, according to manager Arne Slot. "Of course, very unlucky and unhappy with the fact that Alex picked up a small - really small - injury. That's why this game came a bit too early. The same can be said about Alex, we're hoping to have him back next week. But that's small margins, as it always is in football."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Reds to launch final bid?
Liverpool are expected to launch a final bid for Isak, according to The Telegraph.
ANALYSIS
Liverpool only have a few days to get a deal done for Isak, and they're set to launch what would be a new British transfer record to secure the services of the Swede. Liverpool are expected to make an improved £130 million offer for the 25-year-old, but the add-ons and bonuses on the deal would make this transfer the most expensive one in Premier League history. It's unclear if Newcastle would be open to accept such offer, though.
