Liverpool one of a handful of clubs that have a realistic chance of signing Alexander Isak

|

After signing for Liverpool, Florian Wirtz said the Reds are in the top three for best football clubs in the world.

The German shocked journalists and fans with his decision to reject both Bayern Munich – and Man City-  to join Liverpool for £116million this summer.

Winning the Premier League in his first season as Liverpool manager has been hugely pivotal in FSG being able to snag the elite talent they have so far this summer.

Wirtz is the best No.10 in the world while his teammate Jeremie Frimpong is one of the most exciting right backs in the game at the moment.

Then you have Premier League Team of the Season left-back Milos Kerkez, who signed for the Reds last week.

Marc Guehi is also very close to joining Liverpool but there’s one signing fans are desperate for: Isak.

Liverpool one of just three clubs that could call Isak and actually sign him

Speaking on talkSPORT, Jermaine Jenas says there are only really three clubs that have any chance at all of signing Isak.

When asked by Jim White if he’s concerned about Isak transferring away from Newcastle United, the ex-Magpies midfielder said: “No I’m not, actually.

“I do honestly believe that, for Newcastle’s best players to leave, they’ve literally got to be stuck in a corner, Newcastle, as a football club. There must be no way out from a Financial Fair Play position.

“It’s not because they can’t give Alexander Isak the wages he wants and it’s not because he’s not playing in the biggest competitions and so on and so forth.”

Liverpool are said to be seriously interested in making a move for Isak at some point this summer and they are apparently one of a handful of clubs that could succeed if they tried to sign him.

In terms of Isak potentially joining another Premier League club, Jenas said: “[Manchester] City’s not an option for starters. Arsenal and Liverpool are an option, but I don’t see Arsenal as a massive jump forward from Newcastle, personally.

“For him to leave Newcastle, if I was Alexander Isak, this phone call needs to come in from Real Madrid, or it needs to come in from Barcelona, or maybe Liverpool right now.”
