Alexander Isak’s British record £125 million ($169 million) move from Newcastle United to Liverpool on Monday completed an eye-watering summer of English Premier League spending.
The Swedish striker’s move, along with several other big-money deadline day deals such as Newcastle’s £55 million swoop for Brentford striker Yoane Wissa meant the cumulative spend for the world’s richest soccer league during the transfer window reached three billion pounds for the first time.
