Pundit Warns Striker “May Never Be the Same” as Reds Eye Emergency January Signing
Liverpool’s record signing Alexander Isak faces an anxious wait amid grave fears he suffered a broken leg during his team’s 2-1 win over Tottenham, with a former Premier League striker warning the forward “doesn’t always come back the same” from such a severe injury.
The Swedish international, who has struggled to find form since his £130 million summer move from Newcastle, scored Liverpool’s opener on Saturday before being caught in a heavy, late challenge by Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven. While the club has yet to confirm the diagnosis, the nature of the incident has sparked significant concern.
“I just looked at the injury, and I’ve seen that happen before,” former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor said bluntly on talkSPORT. “That’s a broken leg that is. I don’t think he plays again this season… You don’t always come back the same either.”
The potential long-term absence of their marquee striker has immediately shifted Liverpool’s transfer plans. According to reports, the club is now set to accelerate its search for attacking reinforcements in the January window, having already made preliminary inquiries.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the shift, stating, “My information is that Liverpool have made some calls in terms of opportunities… So I would keep the door open for Liverpool movements.” Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo and other targets like Franculino Dju have been linked as possible emergency signings.
The injury casts a shadow over what was a crucial away victory, moving Liverpool to fifth in the table. All focus at Anfield is now on the severity of Isak’s setback and the urgent need to fill a potentially devastating void in their attack.
