The Reds broke the British record to sign Newcastle United forward Isak for £125m after a summer-long chase.

There was disappointment for the Reds late on in the day though, as a deal for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi collapsed. Liverpool submitted a deal sheet in an attempt to get the transfer over the line, but the Eagles were unable to land a replacement.

Isak's arrival takes Liverpool's spending to aar-ound £450 million in a single summer as Arne Slot rebuilt his Premier League winning team. They have also recouped a vast amount after sanctioning the sales of the likes of Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Jarell Quansah.

Harvey Elliott also left the Reds to join Aston Villa. He will sign on loan initially, although the agreement includes an obligation to buy for £35 million..

The window comes as a huge signal of intent from the club after they won their opening three Premier League fixtures. Bournemouth were beaten 4-2 and Newcastle 3-2 in dramatic games before title challengers Arsenal were seen off 1-0 at Anfield on Sunday.

The Daily Post understands Liverpool's £35m move for Marc Guehi has fallen through.
