Isak finally living up to price tag as Liverpool patience rewarded
· Sports · BBC Sport
Alexander Isak, the £125m Sweden striker signed in August 2025, scored his sixth Premier League goal for Liverpool in a 2-0 win against Brighton on Sunday. This follows a nightmare first season where he managed just four goals in 22 games due to a slow start and a broken leg in December. Isak is averaging almost a goal per game this season and accounts for more than half of Liverpool's Premier League goals. With Erling Haaland leading at nine, Isak's numbers match what Liverpool expected when they signed him from Newcastle.
Why it matters
Isak's resurgence validates Liverpool's long-term investment and boosts their league title ambitions as they prepare to face Arsenal next.
