Alexander Isak sends Liverpool fans wild with Sweden display vs Spain at Euro 2020

Liverpool fans have sent a clear transfer message to their club’s board following the display of Alexander Isak for Sweden against Spain.

Luis Enrique’s side kicked-off their Euro 2020 campaign against Sweden at the Estadio La Cartuja in Seville tonight with the game finishing goalless despite their dominance.

And despite all the focus being on Enrique’s side going into the game, it was Isak who stole the show with an impressive performance.

The 21-year-old, born in Stockholm, is currently on the books of Spanish side Real Sociedad.

The forward was the only La Liga representative in his side’s squad against the three-time European Championships winners.

He enjoyed an eye-catching 2020/21 season with La Real, netting 17 league goals, as the Basque giants sealed a Europa League spot.

And his impressive performance here lead to Liverpool fans taking to Twitter to call on their side to make a move this summer given a striker is seen as an area to improve in the window.

Back in 2016, Swedish icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic is said to have recommended him to both Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.

In a very short assessment, former Manchester United star Ibrahimovic said: "I have seen him in action and he is fantastic."

Sociedad paid Borussia Dortmund £6million to take Isak in 2019 but he is now rated at around 10 times that figure.

Dortmund are understood to have an agreement in place to re-sign the player at the end of each season for around £25m, but Isak has said he does not want to return to the Bundesliga club.
