Is Liverpool’s Double Record-Breaking Swoop the Start of a New Anfield Era?

On deadline day, Swedish striker Isak completed a sensational £125 million switch from Newcastle United

Liverpool have stunned the football world this summer — but the big question remains: have the record-breaking signings of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz launched a new era of dominance at Anfield?

On deadline day, Swedish striker Isak completed a sensational £125 million switch from Newcastle United, a fee that could rise to £130 million — the biggest transfer in Premier League history. Just weeks earlier, German wonderkid Florian Wirtz had already joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for £116 million plus add-ons, briefly holding the record himself.
