THE BIGGER PICTURE
Isak was at the centre of the summer's biggest transfer drama after Liverpool lodged a £110 million ($150m) bid for the Sweden international. Newcastle knocked that offer back, public statements were issued by the player and club as the situation turned sour. But the Magpies found a suitable replacement in Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart and Isak was granted his wish and eventually moved to Anfield for a British-record £125m ($169m).

WHAT NEXT FOR ISAK?
After sitting out Newcastle's pre-season and opening league matches, fitness will be top of Isak's priorities. He played just 18 minutes for Sweden against Kosovo in midweek. Looking ahead there's the Premier League clash with Burnley on Sunday, followed by a Champions League test against Atletico Madrid and the huge Merseyside derby with Everton at Anfield.
