LONDON - Liverpool manager Arne Slot admitted that he did not speak much to Alexander Isak before the club signed him from Newcastle United, which could be surprising for a player who cost a British record fee of £125 million (S$217 million).
The Premier League champions signed the Sweden forward on transfer deadline day, adding further firepower to their squad.
Speaking ahead of the Sept 14 match against Burnley, Slot said: "Maybe people don't believe me if I give you this answer but I haven't spoken to him that much.
"I spoke to him after he signed by phone because he had to go to the national team and the way I, 99 out of 100 times, treat my players during international breaks is I leave them for the manager they are working with over there.
"So, I texted him now maybe once or twice because he is new to us (and) I wanted to know how he did. But I do have to get to know him as a person much better in the upcoming days and weeks.
