Jamie Carragher questioned Liverpool's pursuit of Newcastle's Alexander Isak amid their summer spending, nearing £300m. They have recruited players such as Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike, with Ekitike arriving for an initial £69m. Newcastle values Isak, who scored 23 Premier League goals, at around £150m. Carragher believes Liverpool should avoid spending on Isak since they already secured Ekitike, who demonstrated his potential with 22 goals and 12 assists last season, contributing to Champions League qualification for his previous club.
"It will be an amazing signing. But from a Liverpool fan point of view, I don't want the club to spend £150m on Isak."
"I could probably imagine that he was Liverpool's No 1 target, but there's something about Liverpool buying a striker [Ekitike] for £80m, and he's a back-up. There's something about it that doesn't sit right to me."
