Liverpool fans have sent a bold message to Trent Alexander-Arnold as the club pushes ahead with an ambitious summer rebuild, including a potential blockbuster move for Alexander Isak.
The Reds have already been among the busiest Premier League sides this summer, bolstering their title-winning squad with the signings of Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, and Hugo Ekitike. Wirtz arrived in a club-record $155 million deal, while Ekitike — also on the radar of Manchester United and Newcastle — joined for $106 million.
However, the summer hasn’t been without its setbacks. Liverpool said farewell to Alexander-Arnold, who departed for Real Madrid in a $13 million switch after deciding not to renew his contract at Anfield. The move marks the end of an era, but fans have remained defiant in their support of the club’s direction.
Now, attention turns towards the Newcastle striker.
The Swedish international has told the Magpies he is open to exploring his options this window, prompting interest from Liverpool, who is still seeking reinforcements up front.
Fans were less than impressed that Alexander-Arnold left Anfield.
But supporters have come up with a hack for their shirts that display his name.
Supporters in Hong Kong have been spotted taping over the Arnold on their shirts and replacing it with Isak.
While there’s no confirmation that a move for Isak is imminent, the jersey stunt has already gone viral among Liverpool’s online fanbase.
One person said: "Absolute legend", while another supporter added: "Man I'd love it if Isak picks 66 when he comes here."
Securing a deal for Isak will still be a significant challenge for sporting director Richard Hughes.
Newcastle has consistently maintained that the striker is not for sale, and the club’s chairman has now taken control of the decision regarding his future, removing it from manager Eddie Howe’s hands.
However, with signs that Isak is unsettled, this could present the perfect moment for Liverpool to make its move for the striker.
Liverpool.com says: With Liverpool already spending heavily this summer on players like Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz, it remains to be seen whether a move for Isak materializes. But if fan enthusiasm is any indication, the Swedish international would be welcomed with open arms — and ready-made shirts.
