Collymore backs striker to silence $169m chatter
Alexander Isak’s $169m (£125m) transfer to Liverpool smashed the British record, and he marked his debut with energy against Atletico Madrid. Ex-Red Stan Collymore, once a record buy himself, insists fans will soon forget the price if Isak hits form.
After all, Collymore joked inflation makes his £8.5m move in 1995 look like Alan Shearer cost more than a small country’s GDP — proving that football fees now grow faster than the Kop sings ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’.
