Liverpool striker Alexander Isak has revealed that joining the Premier League giants was an “easy decision”, despite the turbulent circumstances surrounding his departure from Newcastle United.
The Sweden international joined Liverpool on deadline day in September 2025 for a British-record transfer fee of £125 million.
Speaking to BBC Sport’s The Football Interview on Friday, Isak said Liverpool’s stature, ambition and determination to sign him convinced him that the move was the right decision.
“Liverpool is a massive club, and everything about the club made it pretty clear,” Isak said.
“The club’s ambition and the club’s will to get me in as well. It was a big part of it.”
Isak’s departure from Newcastle followed a difficult period during which he trained away from the first team. The striker had previously claimed that promises made to him at the club had been broken.
His first season at Anfield was subsequently disrupted by injury. Isak made 22 appearances, playing 1,032 minutes, before suffering a leg break that kept him out from December until April.
He finished the campaign with three Premier League goals.
Despite the challenging season, the 26-year-old said he never regretted his decision to join Liverpool.
“No, never. I would never think like that,” Isak said when asked if he had ever regretted the move.
The striker added that focusing on the future helped him cope with the lengthy injury setback.
“The leg break was tough. Anyone who had a long injury would know,” he said.
“But on the other hand, when you’re in a good place and when you feel good, you don’t really tend to look back because it doesn’t really benefit you.”
Isak has started the new campaign in promising form, already matching his previous season’s Premier League tally of three goals after just four matches.
He also represented Sweden at the World Cup during the summer.
