Alexander Isak says he has joined Liverpool to win trophies and “create history” after his British record \u00a3125m move from Newcastle United was confirmed on transfer deadline day<\/a>.<\/p>\n After seeing their initial offer of \u00a3110m rebuffed at the start of August, talks resumed on Sunday before an agreement was reached at \u00a3125m to bring an end to a summer-long saga that had seen Isak publicly and privately agitate to leave St James’ Park while also going on strike to force it through.<\/p>\n After three years on Tyneside, Isak arrives on Merseyside as the most expensive player of all time in British football and the Sweden international, who is now set to link up with his national colleagues for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers, says he can’t wait to get started with the Premier League<\/a> champions.<\/p>\n READ MORE: What sparked Marc Guehi transfer collapse as Liverpool suffer Deadline Day blow<\/a>READ MORE: Liverpool confirm British record \u00a3125m Alexander Isak transfer from Newcastle United<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a mixture of what the club is building, but what they\u2019re building on top of what the club already is,” Isak told Liverpoolfc.com. “The history of the club.
