Alexander Isak

Alexander Isak of Liverpool was born in Solna, Sweden on 21 September 1999 (age 26).

Alexander Isak, born on 21 September 1999 (age 26) in Sweden, is a proficient forward who primarily plays as a striker for Liverpool Football Club. Standing tall at 1.92m (6ft 3in) and boasting a weight of 77kg (12st 1lb), his physicality is notably impressive. Wearing the number 9 jersey with pride, Isak has also proven himself at the international level representing the Sweden national team.

According to Transfermarkt, Isak currently holds a reputable market value of approximately €120.00m (£102.5m).

In January 2016, Isak donned the colours of AIK in the Allsvenskan in Sweden as a trainee. Throughout his debut season of 2016 at AIK, Isak made an appreciable impact by making 24 first cum league appearances and successfully scoring ten goals.

The subsequent year in January 2017, Isak transferred from AIK in Sweden to Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga in Germany for a fee of around £7.7m. However, he made only five first-team appearances in league matches in the 2017 - 2018 season - a reserved contribution, it could be argued.

In January 2019, Isak was loaned from Borussia Dortmund in Germany to Willem II in the Eerste Divisie in Netherlands. Showcasing his potential, Isak made 16 first team appearances and netted 13 goals in league matches during the season 2018 - 2019 at Willem II.

July 2019 saw Isak transferred from Borussia Dortmund to Real Sociedad in LaLiga, Spain for a fee around £5.9m. The period spanning season 2019 - 2023 at Real Sociedad witnessed a commendable performance from Isak, playing in a total of 140 first-team league matches and scoring a remarkable total of 33 goals.

His continual growth did not go unnoticed. In August 2022, the Premier League side, Newcastle United in England, landed him for an impressively substantial fee of £58m. Proving to be worth the significant sum, Isak scored 54 goals in 86 first team appearances throughout his tenure at Newcastle United till 2025.

In September of 2025, Isak completed his transfer from Newcastle United to another English Premier League side, Liverpool, for a hefty sum of £130m. In the ongoing season 2025 - 2026, Isak has exhibited promising signs making ten first team appearances and scoring two goals in league matches for Liverpool so far.

In addition to his league contributions, Isak featured in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 and Champions League 2025 - 2026 for Liverpool, where he secured a goal in one start and made total five appearances respectively.
