Liverpool's potential £150M move for Alexander Isak isn't just another transfer rumor—it's a tactical revolution in the making. With 23 Premier League goals last season and a 23.2% shot conversion rate, the Swedish striker could solve Liverpool's finishing woes. 

 

But can he stay fit enough to justify a record fee?
