A New Era Begins at Anfield
When Alexander Isak pulled up to the AXA Training Centre this week, it wasn’t just another routine arrival. It was the first glimpse of Liverpool’s new £125 million ($169M) record signing in action — a moment Reds fans had been waiting for since the transfer was sealed.
And Isak didn’t waste any time. While some internationals were still making their way back, the 25-year-old Swede was already in the building, lacing up and putting in the work. That alone says a lot about his hunger to make an instant impression.
Early Drills, Early Impressions
Liverpool’s cameras followed Isak throughout his first day. From fast-footwork drills and gym sessions with Joe Gomez and Federico Chiesa, to pressing exercises with academy talents like Jayden Danns, the striker looked sharp.
Then came the real test: shooting practice. Twice, Isak connected with Chiesa crosses, one a clever near-post flick and the other a perfectly executed volley. For fans who feared a slow bedding-in period, this was exactly the kind of reassurance they wanted to see.
Coolness in Front of Goal
What stood out most? His composure. In just a short highlight reel, Isak finished with a calm left-foot strike and a casual cut-inside that ended with the ball nestled in the bottom corner. It felt effortless — exactly why Liverpool broke their transfer record for him.
He may not yet be cracking jokes with teammates or celebrating wildly, but the signs are there: Isak’s presence adds a new layer of firepower to Arne Slot’s plans.
Bigger Tests Await
Of course, it’s only day one. The real battles will come under the lights at Anfield and away in the Premier League’s most hostile stadiums. But if first impressions count for anything, Liverpool supporters can rest easy knowing their new No. 9 is ready to deliver.
