The Reds signed Isak on deadline day for a British record £125million after a bitter saga involving his former side Newcastle United. The 25-year-old bagged 23 topflight goals last season.

Ekitike (right) also arrived at Anfield this summer, from Frankfurt for £79m, and has started the season well. The Frenchman scored in Liverpool's Community Shield loss and their first two Premier League fixtures.
