Collymore backs striker to silence price tag talk

Alexander Isak’s $169m (£125m) switch from Newcastle to Liverpool set a new British record, and Stan Collymore says fans will soon forget the fee if he keeps scoring. The striker impressed on debut against Atletico Madrid and could feature in the Merseyside derby.

Collymore joked that transfer jumps back in the ‘90s felt like going from £150m to £300m in a single season — a bit like skipping from instant noodles to Michelin Star dining overnight.
