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.
Expected to start on left wing
Isak has been named in Sweden's World Cup squad and is expected to start on the left wing under coach Jon Dahl Tomasson, arriving at the tournament after a difficult first season at Liverpool heavily disrupted by injuries.
ANALYSIS
Isak managed just three goals and one assist across 21 appearances in all competitions this season, a frustrating return for a player of his quality, but a stunning goal against Norway in the World Cup warm-up suggests he is hitting form at exactly the right time. His pace, technical ability and composure in front of goal make him one of the more dangerous wide attackers at the tournament when fit, and his ability to cut inside from the left and combine with Viktor Gyokeres in the final third gives Sweden a genuinely unpredictable attacking partnership. The World Cup represents the ideal stage for the 26-year-old to rediscover the form that made him one of Europe's most sought-after forwards, and a fully fit Isak is one of the more exciting attacking options available to manager Jon Dahl Tomasson this summer.

Could return for season finale
Isak (undisclosed) is expected to train with Liverpool next week and could return for next Sunday's season finale against Brentford, according to coach Arne Slot. "Yes, there will definitely be a chance. He missed pre-season as we all know and then he broke his leg. We've tried to be as careful as we could with him, taking into account that our other No.9, Hugo Ekitike, is out for such a long time, so we needed him as a result of that even more. We've tried to be as careful as we could, but I don't think it can come to anyone as a surprise if you miss your pre-season, if you then break your leg, that minor injuries can occur if you have to start in Premier League games immediately in that intensity. It's just a bit of bad luck for him that in the moment of time when he comes back, Hugo gets injured and we need him more. I expect him to train with us this week, but I cannot give any guarantees."

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.
