ISAK'S GOING TO ON HIS ETIQUETTE

Kop boss won't tolerate disruptive behaviour in Anfield dressing room... and Toon rebel might have to apologise for stealing Salah's thunder!

IF Alexander Isak is hoping to make new friends in the Anfield dressing room soon, he might have gone about it in a different fashion on Tuesday night.

As Liverpool star Mo Salah was receiving the PFA Player of the Year trophy, the Egyptian was set to be very much the centre of attention at the fancy Manchester ceremony.

But Isak releasing his statement on how his relationship with Newcastle was now broken beyond repair pulled every journalist, agent and player in the room back to the saga that has dragged on throughout this summer.

The wantaway Newcastle striker may have been explaining his absence, as he was named in the team of the season, but it was very strange timing.

Liverpool have made no secret of their desire to sign the Sweden striker.

And Isak has made no attempt to disguise the fact he sees his future on Merseyside, not Tyneside.

Salah's performances on the pitch win him personal awards as well as team titles, and he loves to collect both.
