Liverpool fans speechless after what Alexander Isak did in first training session

Footage has emerged of Alexander Isak's first day in training for Liverpool. The Sweden international completed a £125million move to Anfield on transfer deadline day this summer when he was officially unveiled as a Reds player.

The 25-year-old's switch to Merseyside smashed the British transfer record, but was fraught with controversy after he spent three years at Newcastle United. Isak went on strike to force the move, having missed the club's pre-season tour of the Far East due to a minor injury. As a result, he played no part in the Magpies' pre-season preparations or the first month of the Premier League season.

Liverpool's new forward is poised to make his debut for Arne Slot's team on Sunday afternoon against newly-promoted Burnley. The Reds will be aiming to maintain their perfect start to the league season when they head to Turf Moor.

Liverpool released footage of Isak in training for the club for the first time - leaving supporters hugely impressed with what they saw. "We might have underpaid," one wrote.

"Alexander Isak, the best striker on the planet, running round the AXA in a pair of bright yellow F50s. These are the days, my friend," another supporter commented.

"Imagine Isak alongside Salah, Wirtz and Gakpo. I can't believe my life right now," another enthused. "I still can’t believe he plays for my club," added another.

Speaking while on international duty with Sweden this week, Isak has claimed that people do not have the full story on his acrimonious departure from Newcastle.

"Not everyone has the full picture, but that's something for another day," he told Swedish media.

"That's part of football. I can't control everything that is said or written but I'm glad I became a Liverpool player. That's what I wanted and I'm happy about that.

"There is a lot to discuss, and it can be discussed for a long time. It has been educational, and I'm happy with the final result.

"I'm happy and proud to be a Liverpool player. I don't want to go into details or talk about that situation too much. It is a closed chapter, but I have never had any problems."
