Bold claim? Perhaps. But watching Alexander Isak week in, week out for Liverpool this season, it is getting harder and harder to argue against it.
The Swedish striker arrived from Newcastle United for £90 million — a fee that raised eyebrows at the time. Ten months on, that looks like an absolute steal. Isak has scored 28 goals in all competitions, provided 12 assists, and transformed Liverpool's attacking play entirely.
What makes him so effective is not just the goals, but the way he plays. Isak drops deep, links the play, stretches defences with his pace, and finishes with clinical precision. He's the complete modern striker.
In the 0-3 away win at Goodison Park, Isak was the focal point of everything good about Liverpool's attacking play. His movement created the space for Szoboszlai's two goals, and his pressing forced the defensive errors that Liverpool exploited.
At 26 years old, with his best years ahead of him, Liverpool may have found their striker for the next decade.
