BBC Sport understands the Reds have made genuine moves towards a deal to sign Sweden international Isak in recent days. They have also explored the parameters for other centre-forward targets.

Liverpool have made an approach to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. The Merseyside club say no formal offer has been submitted as they are well aware Newcastle’s stance has always been that Isak is not for sale. However, they have communicated their interest to do a deal in the region of £120million.

Liverpool have registered their interest in signing Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak this summer as they continue their search for a No.9, a source has told ESPN.
