Overview
- Sweden coach Jon Dahl Tomasson said it was too great a risk to use Alexander Isak after just three sessions, leaving the striker unused against Slovenia with a possible limited role against Kosovo.
- Liverpool’s outlay this summer is reported at about £444m gross with roughly £193m net, headlined by Florian Wirtz at £116m and Isak at a British‑record £125m.
- Newcastle defender Emil Krafth dismissed claims of a dressing‑room split over Isak’s exit, echoing supportive public comments from teammates.
- Manchester United and Trabzonspor have an agreement in principle for an Andre Onana season‑long loan, but the move awaits the player’s approval with Turkey’s window open until September 12, according to Fabrizio Romano.
- Arsenal spent more than £250m including Viktor Gyokeres, who has agreed to give evidence in a Swedish defamation case next year that could affect availability, while Albert Sambi Lokonga’s Hamburg move was reported at an initial £260,000.
