Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge believes that Alexander Isak should be on Arne Slot’s wishes this summer.
The Newcastle star had a nice season, scoring 19 goals in 24 Premier League games and has been linked to a removal from St James’ Park, although Magpies have repeatedly said that they are not for sale.
But if this attitude changes, then Aldridge says Sweden International, who lost the Newcastle 2-0 defeat to Anfield last night, will complete Liverpool’s existing choices.

Said Beta: “I think Alexander Isak would be suitable for the Liverpool team, along with each Premier League team.
“He’s parallel to Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah for production this season. I don’t think Newcastle can let him go, but if they decide, I would be happy if Liverpool were with a voice for him.”
Could Isak replace either salah and nunez?
There may be some upgrading to the Anfield this summer with Salah still agreeing on a new contract and Darwin Nunez comes for criticism from the reception for a perceived lack of effort.
It would be no surprise if Liverpool are aimed at a new striker and Aldridge says a productive number nine is the one thing missing from a team steadily along the way to win the title in a bell.
He added: “I have always said with Liverpool strikers that you have to score one goal every two games. Ian Rush and Robbie Fowler were all the same as they managed to do so. He’s going with Liverpool’s shirt-his centrally forwards should just score every two games.
“If you are Liverpool striker, you have to fight for the golden boot and be there with Haaland, but none of their own this season has been able to do so. Diogo Jota has been injured, but there is no player to do his own position – to do so, he has to score a goal every two games. Playing every game ”.
Aldridge believes that Kelleher could proceed
It’s not just ahead where Aldridge thinks there will be changes.
With an agreement already organized for Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili to arrive from Valencia before next season, Aldridge says either Alisson or Caoimhin Kelleher will probably leave.
And his money is for his colleague Irish Kelleher, who has acted as number two in Alisson for much of his time in Merseyside.
He said: “I think the fact that Liverpool is going to pay a lot of money for Giorgi Mamardashvili means either Allison or Caoimhin Kelleher will leave the club. It must be something he has spoken between directors and the Arne host.
“Kelleher is great to be a number of two in any club and he knows it. else. “
