Alexander Isak recently completed his record-breaking £130 million transfer from Newcastle United to Liverpool.
The player has now joined up with the Swedish national team in Stockholm. Although he has not played since May, he has been selected for Sweden’s squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Kosovo.

“He is very stable and controlled. We have no worries. He’s not able to play for 90 minutes, but he can be a game-changer.”
