JAKARTA - Alexander Isak is being hunted for heat in this summer's transfer market. After Arsenal echoed interest, Liverpool took part in the competition to get the Swedish player.
In ESPN's report, Liverpool have expressed interest in recruiting the Newcastle United forward this summer, as they continue their search for player number 9.
The 2024/2025 Premier League champions are looking for a new center-forward because the uncertainty regarding Darwin Nunez's future is still ongoing.

You see, Napoli became one of the clubs interested in recruiting the Uruguayan international this summer.
Liverpool also rejected an offer of 67.5 million euros from Bayern Munich to recruit striker Luis Diaz.
Until now, the Reds have not made an official offer for Isak. However, they have approached Newcastle to assess its availability, as they have done with other strikers' targets.
Newcastle's stance so far is not wanting to let the Swedish player -- who has scored 62 goals in 102 appearances -- leave this summer.
However, anything can happen. Moreover, Liverpool has a great chance of issuing fresh funds for Isak.
Just look at the transfer record-breaking when signing Bayer Leverkusen's playmaker, Florian Wirtz, in an agreement of 116 million pounds. That figure could reach a record British transfer.
Newcastle hinted at the possibility of needing more than Wirtz's price to release Isak this summer.
Meanwhile, Newcastle is working on an agreement to recruit Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike, with the aim that the forward plays with Isak on attack.
Newcastle is preparing to raise their bid to Frankfurt in the coming days.
Liverpool are also interested in Ekitike, but they are not sure about the 23-year-old rather than confidence in Isak's quality.
