Arne Slot has delivered an optimistic update on Alexander Isak, insisting Liverpool supporters are yet to see the striker’s best form following his £150 million move from Newcastle United F.C. in the summer of 2025, Softfootball reports.
In comments shared by Fabrizio Romano via his official X account, Slot urged patience as Isak continues to integrate into the squad after a challenging spell with injuries. Slot confirmed they haven’t seen the best Alexander Isak yet but believe they will next season, encouraging fans not to place a strict timescale on the Swedish forward’s progress.
Arne Slot: “Unfortunately for him and us we haven’t seen the best Alexander Isak. We will next season”. “Let’s not put a timescale on it but it’s clear he will be available if things go as planned this season!”.
Late last year, Liverpool F.C. confirmed that Isak underwent successful surgery after suffering a fractured fibula and ankle injury during a 2–1 Premier League win over Tottenham Hotspur F.C.. The setback is believed to have impacted his recent performances.

Meanwhile, Slot praised Mohamed Salah after Liverpool’s FA Cup victory over Brighton & Hove Albion F.C., highlighting his improved defensive work rate.
