Alexander Isak, Liverpool’s high-profile signing, has opened up about his struggles to find form since joining the club, revealing the challenges he’s faced in adapting to life at Anfield. The Swedish striker, who arrived amid great expectations from Newcastle for a staggering £125 million, admitted that his lack of a proper preseason has hindered his performance. Isak’s transition has been slow, as he has been gradually integrated into the squad due to fitness concerns stemming from his late transfer.

In a candid interview, Isak stated, “I feel good. I’ve been working hard to get back to my best, and I’m still working to get to my best form.” His comments come after Liverpool’s disappointing 2-1 defeat to Chelsea, marking their third consecutive loss and raising alarm bells among fans and management alike. The situation worsened as Andy Robertson limped off the pitch, leaving his fitness in question ahead of the international break, and Ibraima Konaté also faced injury concerns.

Liverpool’s head coach, Anie Slot, acknowledged the challenges Isak faces, explaining that the striker’s preseason effectively began three weeks into the season, putting him at a disadvantage compared to his teammates. As Liverpool prepares for crucial upcoming fixtures, the team is desperate for Isak to regain his sharpness and for Robertson’s injury to be less severe than feared.

As the Reds grapple with their form and fitness issues, Isak’s struggle to find his feet at Liverpool adds another layer of pressure. With international duties looming, fans will be watching closely to see if Isak can turn his fortunes around and help lift Liverpool from their current slump. The urgency is palpable as Liverpool seeks to reclaim their form and secure crucial points in the upcoming matches.
