- Alexander Isak transferred from Newcastle United to Liverpool for a record £125 million in September 2025.
- Isak scored only four Premier League goals and played just 21 % of Liverpool's minutes after a fractured ankle and fibula forced him out for four months.
- Liverpool finished fifth, 25 points behind champions Arsenal, missing out on Champions League qualification.
- Andoni Iraola entered formal talks with Liverpool to become the new manager, with the club hoping to rejuvenate Isak's output.
- Isak netted a spectacular goal for Sweden in a 3‑1 friendly loss to Norway, suggesting a potential bounce‑back.
Why it matters: Liverpool's £125m Isak signing yields just four goals, contributing to a fifth‑place finish that forfeits Champions League qualification; the club has entered talks with Andoni Iraola for a managerial change.
