Isak Wants 'To Win Everything'

Swedish striker is motivated by Liverpool's ambition and history after record move from Tyneside

- 

LONDON - Alexander Isak vowed to make history with English Premier League champions Liverpool, after finally completing his British-record £125 million (S$216.1 million) move from Newcastle United on Sept 1.

The Swedish striker, 25, agreed a reported six-year contract with the Reds, after they convinced Newcastle to accept an improved bid ahead of the Premier League's transfer deadline.

Isak's arrival will increase the expectation that Liverpool are set for a dominant period and he is happy to shoulder the burden.

"I think it's a mixture of what the club is building, but what they're building on top of what the club already is. The history of the club. Me getting the chance to be a part of this, I want to create history," Isak said.

"I want to win trophies. That's ultimately the biggest motivation for me. I feel like this is the perfect place for me to take my game to the next level and help the team as well."

Arne Slot's side had a £110 million offer rejected by Newcastle in August, but Isak's determination to force through the move paid off.

He told Newcastle he wanted to leave and spent part of pre-season training alone at his former club Real Sociedad.
