The Reds completed a dramatic Premier League record £125M deal to bring in Isak from Newcastle United last summer following a long-running transfer saga.
However, the Sweden international struggled for both form and fitness on Merseyside, with just eight EPL starts and three top-flight goals scored.
Former boss Arne Slot appeared unsure on how to utilise Isak alongside Hugo Ekitike, and there’s now the promise of a fresh start under new head coach Andoni Iraola, and the former Magpies star is now injury-free.
Slot’s usage of Isak caused plenty of frustration at Anfiield and triple-title winner and ex-Manchester United forward Dwight Yorke has slammed the Dutchman’s approach.
“Isak has been in a difficult situation. I was a huge fan of his at Newcastle”, Yorke told sports betting specialists Boyle Sports.
“It’ll be interesting to see how he gets on this season under the new manager, Andoni Iraola, and how he sees it, and what he wants to do with the team.
“When Ekitike was keeping him out the team, you’re not feeling like you’re worth £120m and that’s when doubts start to kick in.
“And you’ve got the previous manager messing you around and not playing you, chopping and changing every few seconds. Liverpool were never going to get the best out of a player like Isak in that environment.
“If you’re a striker, you want to be told you’re No.1, and if you’re not getting that message from the manager, then you’ve got a long season ahead of you.”
