Liverpool – after beating Arsenal 1-0 – have officially reached an agreement to recruit Alexander Isak from Newcastle for a transfer fee of £130 million.

This figure officially sets a new transfer record in Premier League history.

The information was confirmed last night (August 31, local time), when the parties completed the final terms after months of closed negotiations.

The Swedish striker will arrive in Merseyside today for a medical ahead of signing a long-term contract with the Reds.

This is a deal that Liverpool have been preparing for a long time, with the only target being Isak, despite interest from a number of European giants.

For his part, the former Real Sociedad striker also rebelled to leave Newcastle, rejecting all offers and only wanting to join Anfield.

Isak 's arrival promises to bring a breath of fresh air to Liverpool's attack, especially in the context of coach Arne Slot wanting to rebuild the team towards more speed and efficiency.

With his intelligent movement, versatile finishing and strong physical foundation, Isak is expected to become the number one striker at Anfield for many years to come.

This deal not only strengthens Liverpool in the Premier League championship race, but also affirms their ambition to conquer the Champions League this season.

The £130m spent on Isak also puts him among the most expensive signings in world football history.

From now on, Anfield can consider Isak as the new symbol of the post-Jurgen Klopp era - a turning point for both the Swedish striker and Liverpool's recovery ambitions.
