Liverpool fans have been receiving one good news after another recently.

The Reds are on track to lift the Premier League title, and if results go their way, they could wrap it up before this weekend comes to a close.

To add to that, Liverpool confirmed that Mohamed Salah has extended his contract, and skipper Virgil van Dijk has put pen to paper over a new deal too.

Arne Slot’s side are not messing around, and the Dutchman is not stopping here. He already has his eyes set on what he wants his club to do next.

Arne Slot wants to step up Alexander Isak chase after Virgil van Dijk’s new Liverpool contract

Liverpool are expected to be very busy this summer.

The Reds have been the best side in the Premier League this season, but they have been fortunate in some ways with respect to injuries.

There is no guarantee that the same will happen again next term, which is why they have to reinforce multiple areas of their squad.

TBR Football can reveal that Darwin Nunez and Luiz Diaz are both targets for Saudi clubs and could leave Liverpool this summer.

If that happens, the Reds will need new attackers, and TBR confirmed that Liverpool are confident that they can sign Alexander Isak.

Now, GiveMeSport have claimed that following Van Dijk signing his new contract, Slot is keen on ‘stepping up interest’ in the Newcastle United star.

Isak, who Slot hailed as ‘unbelievable’ recently, is yet to sign a new contract at St James’ Park, and that has given the Reds a lot of hope that they can lure him in before the start of next season.

Liverpool won’t be the only club in the race to sign Isak this summer.

Arsenal and Chelsea also want Isak, and we won’t be surprised if a few more huge clubs in Europe express their interest in the Newcastle United star.

But, the Reds will fancy their chances in landing their key target.

TBR exclusively revealed earlier in April that the feeling inside Anfield is that Salah signing his new contract will inspire Isak to join Liverpool this summer.

The Merseyside giants are not fazed by Newcastle’s demands for Isak, and they are expected to try their luck once the window opens in July.
