Liverpool have signed Swedish striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United in a British record transfer worth about £130m ($176m). The 25-year-old, who scored 23 Premier League goals last season, is set to join on a six-year contract after completing his medical, Al Jazeera reported.
The deal follows weeks of negotiations, during which Isak pushed for the move by skipping Newcastle training. Newcastle, in turn, moved to replace him by signing German forward Nick Woltemade for a club-record fee of up to £69m ($93m).
