Alexander Isak Premier League betting specials as Liverpool’s new superstar striker aims to pay back staggering fee

ALEXANDER ISAK finally gets his move and will spearhead Liverpool’s attack for years to come.

The transfer saga of the summer, his contentious tactics to generate the move and subsequent £125million transfer fee means all eyes will be on the Swede when he lines up in red after the international break.

Given the start Huge Ekitike has made in the league, Isak will be keen to hit the ground running himself and begin the pay back the British record fee.

Will that impact come in the Premier League this year? Betfair have priced up some season specials on the Anfield new boy.

Alexander Isak to score 20+ Premier League goals – 8/13

The 25-year-old bagged 23 goals last season but will surely need time to get up to speed having not featured in a league game since the end of last season.

It also remains to be seen where Huge Ekikite features in all of this given he’s scored three goals in four appearances thus far.

Betfair still make Isak an odds-on shot at 8/13 to notch at least 20 goals this season.

Alexander Isak to score more goals than Mo Salah in the Premier League – 10/11

Interesting bet this one with there bound to be some competition amongst the scorers at the top end of the park.

Mo Salah is Liverpool’s record scorer in the competition’s history and has won the Golden Boot four times – including last season.

A battle to be penalty taker and leading marksman could determine this one though Reds will also be without Egyptian star when he’s at AFCON.

Alexander Isak is odds-on at 10/11 to score more Premier League goals than Mo Salah this season.

Alexander Isak to score against Newcastle in the Premier League – 10/11

Given the raucous atmosphere at St James’ Park last week when he wasn’t even involved, Isak is probably fortunate the only league meeting he’ll face the Toon in comes at Anfield.

Geordie support rightly aggrieved at his behaviour in pushing through this move having not long ago achieved hero status in the city for his involvement in delivering silverware – when ironically scoring against Liverpool.

He’ll be back at St James’ Park one day soon and the natives won’t forget in a hurry. Nor will his former teammates in black and white.

But he’ll only face them once in the league this season and is 10/11 with Betfair to score against them.

Alexander Isak to be Liverpool’s top goalscorer in the Premier League – 9/4

Similarly to the point previously, this one very much depends on his settling in period.

Ekitike has already stolen a march and Salah will take an equal share of the goals, if not more.

Still really intrigued when that first penalty is won….

Isak is 9/4 with Betfair to be top Reds scorer in the league this season.

Alexander Isak to score more goals than he did in the 24/25 season (23 goals) – 5/2

Finally, this one looks a tough ask.

Particularly given he’s missed three games as it is and he was prolific for Newcastle last season but was given plenty of opportunities with 99 shots on goal taken.

Four penalties and three free kicks scored last season too but isn’t guaranteed to be on those this season too.

Isak is 5/2 with Betfair to outscore last season’s total of 23 Premier League goals.
