Alexander Isak was on the brink of a British-record $169 million move to Liverpool from Newcastle on Monday on a frantic final day of the English Premier League transfer window.

The Sweden striker is understood to have arrived at Liverpool's training ground on Monday as a protracted saga neared its end.
With the Premier League window due to shut at 1800 GMT, there were a number of big deals yet to be done as clubs scramble to strengthen.
Sky Sports reported that Newcastle had agreed a deal to sign Brentford forward Yoane Wissa, while Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was set for a move to Manchester City after being told he was surplus to requirements at Paris Saint-Germain.
Struggling Manchester United were understood to have agreed a deal to sign Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for an initial $24.6 million as they seek to address their goalkeeping problems.
Isak has made clear his desire to leave Newcastle even though he has three years remaining on his contract.
