Forward's uniform

Liverpool head coach Arne Sloot commented on the current form of club forward Alexander Isak.

"He made his debut just six or seven days ago. Time flies so quickly that sometimes you don't realize how much has passed. We didn't get him in top form, so we need to gradually bring him up to speed. The downside is that you can't field a player for the full 90 minutes, and if he only plays 45 or 30, it usually takes longer before he scores his first goal. Everyone understands that if a player plays three 90-minute games, he has a better chance of scoring than if he only plays for 45 or 30 minutes.

He's a record British transfer, and almost no one talks about it, so maybe it's smart to mention it! Because of that, if he doesn't score straight away, the pressure will be on!" "I think the best way to assess his level and how much he can help us will be when he returns from international duty with Sweden—if he stays healthy, plays a lot of minutes there, and then gets some playing time with us in the coming weeks. After that, his preseason will essentially be over, and we'll be able to expect more from him. But for now, I'm very happy with what I'm seeing," Liverpool's press service quoted Sloth as saying.

The Sweden striker joined the Reds last summer from Newcastle United. According to Transfermarkt, Isak's current market value is €120 million.
