Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge would be surprised if Newcastle United allowed Alexander Isak to move to Anfield this summer.

However, the 66-year-old believes Isak would be a guaranteed hit if he did make the blockbuster switch.

He told BetBrain: “Liverpool have some thinking to do in regard to the centre forward position. If the club are going to replace Darwin Nunez, who are they going to bring in?

“Will Florian Wirtz play as a false nine? For me, Alexander Isak is the player on everyone’s mind and would be the perfect addition up front.
