Isak breaks silence on Liverpool move and sends message to Newcastle fans

ALEXANDER ISAK has broken his silence with a message to Newcastle fans following his move to Liverpool.

The transfer saga of the summer finally came to an end on deadline day when Liverpool finalised a British record £130MILLION deal to sign Isak from the Magpies.

Isak, who has received a cold reception from Newcastle fans since he froze himself out of the pre-season preparations, has now released a statement thanking the club.

On Instagram, he wrote: "I want to express my gratitude to my teammates, the staff, and above all, the city of Newcastle and all the amazing supporters for the three unforgettable years we shared together.

"Together, we have written history and brought the club to the place where it truly belongs.

"It has been an honour to be part of the journey from reaching the Champions League to winning the first trophy in over 70 years.

"Forever grateful. Thank you, Newcastle."

Isak's relationship with the Toon Army turned sour when he tried to force through his move to Anfield throughout the summer.

The Swedish striker went on strike to push Newcastle into selling him to the Reds, while the Tyneside outfit scrambled to try and find an adequate replacement.

Newcastle released a blunt statement of their own upon confirming Isak's exit, making no reference to his status or impact on the club.
