Arsenal was also looking to get him before we saw Newcastle as the serious team to sign him (we know how unserious Arsenal is), later Liverpool saw a chance of getting Isak but they that's Newcastle said no to Liverpool's offer then the Reds moved on to get Hugo. It has been a very busy day that's yesterday in the transfer market now the player wants Liverpool and this was the same deal that made Manchester United to pay up every penny to get Mbeumo. Every player would want a club that will give you a trophy in a season, who wouldn't want that as a player? I don't think Newcastle can give him a gold medal that's why he choose Liverpool over Newcastle.
