Liverpool<\/a> have landed their man. The transfer saga of the summer is reaching a conclusion at the last. Alexander Isak is heading to the champions. <\/p>\n

Adamant that his time with the Magpies was up, Isak has compromised relationships in the North East in order to sanction the definitive switch of his career. Liverpool, having had a \u00a3110 million ($148.8 million) offer rejected earlier in the window, have been successful with their second record-breaking proposal<\/a>. At \u00a3130 million, Isak is set to become the third-most expensive footballer ever. <\/p>\n

The rich are only getting richer, with the Reds making their move despite the excellent start to life at Anfield for Hugo Ekitik\u00e9. A 1\u20130 win over perennial bridesmaids Arsenal<\/a> has given them a very early edge in the title race, and the addition of the Premier League<\/a>\u2019s second leading scorer last season has sparked fears of a potential runaway champion. <\/p>\n

However, before we assess Isak\u2019s likely impact on the title holders, let\u2019s outline the potential shirt numbers he could wear on Merseyside.<\/p>\n

Next. Deadline Day LIVE. LIVE UPDATES – Transfer Deadline Day: Isak, Martinez & More. dark<\/p>\n

Isak has had a penchant for the No. 14 shirt throughout his senior career, wearing the number at AIK, Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle United.<\/p>\n

The striker started out with the Nos. 30 and 36 with his boyhood club AIK before joining Dortmund in 2017. Ultimately, his career in the Ruhr region didn\u2019t pan out, and after a loan to Willem II in 2018\u201319, where he wore the No. 9 shirt, Isak joined Real Sociedad. <\/p>\n

Isak stuck with No. 19 during his three years in San Sebasti\u00e1n.<\/p>\n

For the national team, Liverpool\u2019s newest hitman has primarily worn the much-desired No. 9 shirt, but he\u2019s also had Nos. 8, 10, 11, 14 and 15 on his back while representing his country.<\/p>\n

\"Darwin<\/p>\n

Federico Chiesa currently has Isak\u2019s preferred No. 14, and the Italian has manifested his value off the bench at the start of his second season. The Swede\u2019s arrival, though, will limit his influence moving forward. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty obvious where Isak will head on the shirt number front on Merseyside, after Darwin N\u00fa\u00f1ez vacated the No. 9 earlier this summer when he moved to the Saudi Pro League. With Ekitik\u00e9 taking No. 22, many suspected the club were waiting for Isak to succeed the chaotic Uruguayan and become the latest star to wear No. 9 at Anfield. <\/p>\n

Nos. 16, 20, 21, 23, 24, 27 and 29 are also available. Perhaps Marc Gu\u00e9hi will take one of those instead. <\/p>\n
