Arne Slot’s side had a hefty offer for Isak worth £110m plus add-ons turned down, but the player’s agent was at Anfield on Monday night for the fixtures against Athletic Bilbao and they’re monitoring Newcastle’s situation with Benjamin Sesko before making a second bid.

“He’s like an assassin, the way he puts chances away, but what I really liked from talking to him is that you can tell he is still looking for ways to improve his game at the age of 25,” Shearer told BBC Sport speaking about their conversation. “I feel that Isak has put himself into the ‘world class’ category now, with his performances for Newcastle over the past two seasons.
“Along with Mohamed Salah at Liverpool and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, he is one of the three standout forwards we have got in the Premier League.
