Virgil van Dijk has praised Alexander Isak as a ‘complete striker’ and revealed that he has already had conversations with his new Liverpool teammate.
The 25-year-old joined Newcastle on Transfer Deadline Day for one British record costs of £ 125 millionAlthough a combination of the international break and a lack of match fitness means that he still has to make his Reds debut.
Sky Sports’ Vinny O’Connor has hinted that the Swedish sniper could appear for his new club for the first time against Atletico Madrid for the first time, and Arne Slot told reporters today (via via Liverpool Echo) That there is ‘absolutely a chance’ that our number 9 will play tomorrow.
Van Dijk praises ‘Complete Striiker’ Isak
Van Dijk also spoke to the media for the Champions League opener, and he was inevitably asked about Isak, revealing that he spoke with the new signing with the new signing since the fourteen days ago.
The captain of Reds said about the Swede (via Liverpool FC on YouTube): “He is very enthusiastic and the quality has already been shown. We had conversations from the field. I spoke to him in the international break when everything was sorted.
“It’s about becoming as fit as possible as quickly as possible and understand how we train, how we print, set pieces. It has been a good week for him, so let’s take a look about tomorrow.”
Van Dijk Added: “We have no control over the price tag. We will always talk about that, and that creates busy, but it is up to him and us that we are not talking about it.
“He is a clinical finisher head, left foot, right foot, upper corners. He is currently the complete striker. You can say the same for Hugo [Ekitike]. “

The debut of Isak’s Liverpool will be expected for a long time!
Isak has had to be patient in waiting for his debut in Liverpool, with a lock who would not like to take the striker back into action after he did not participate in the Newcastle of August League season.
However, it now seems likely that tomorrow night we will get a first glimpse of him on the field for the Reds, even if it probably would come as a replacement instead of a starter, given that he has only been playing competitive football for 18 minutes since the end of May.
Only Mo Salah scored more than he in the Premier League previous term, and the 25-year-old picked up 62 goals in 109 games For the magpies, so why LFC had to break the British transfer record to finally put him away from St James’ Park.
It is clear that ISAK needs time to be used to the intricacies of leading the line for Liverpool and forging relationships with his new attacking teammates, but if he can manage that sooner, we can have a real game changer in the hands of Center-Forward.
Little debut of players for the Reds are expected as long as his. Let’s hope we don’t wait much longer at that time, one that is perhaps the first step in the direction of an illustrious Anfield career that is comparable to the legendary attackers that we have had in L4 for the entire decades.
