Scotland and Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson via BBC:
“Today I’ve been in bits. I know the age I'm at, this could be my last chance to go to the World Cup.
“I couldn’t get my mate Diogo Jota out of my head today. We spoke so much together about the World Cup. He missed out on Qatar [2022 World Cup] because of injury, I missed out because Scotland never went.
“We always discussed what it would be like, going to this World Cup. I know he’ll be somewhere smiling over me tonight. I just couldn’t get him out of my head the whole day.”
🚨💣 Understand Alexander Isak remains a target for Liverpool even after signing Ekitike… but depends on Newcastle.
If Newcastle open doors to an exit and #LFC sell Diaz, they can bid after direct contact made 10 days ago.
Isak, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 in concrete talks with Al Hilal so far.
🚨 Liverpool make approach to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. #LFC say no formal bid + well aware #NUFC stance has always been: not for sale. But communicated interest in deal for 25yo Sweden international worth in region of £120m @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/qffFlyq9w3
