Liverpool saved the biggest transfer until last in its remarkable multi million pound summer spree, finally signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle for a British-record fee as the window closed on Monday with spending by Premier League clubs soaring beyond billions of pounds.
The biggest saga of Europe’s summer transfer window ended with Isak completing his dream move to the English champion for 125 million pounds with the deal announced in the final throes of a chaotic deadline day.
On the back of winning the Premier League for a record-tying 20th time, Liverpool has overhauled its squad and blown its rivals out of the water, spending more than any other team in Europe. Germany playmaker Florian Wirtz and young French striker Hugo Ekitike have also joined in million pound deals.
One transfer Liverpool failed to get over the line, however, was for England defender Marc Guehi, who will stay at Crystal Palace for the final year of his contract because the London team couldn’t secure a replacement.
