Alexander Isak joins Liverpool in £125m British record deal

Liverpool have signed striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for a British record transfer fee of £125m, with the Swede saying he “wanted to create history and win trophies” at Anfield.

Newcastle sources claim the deal could be worth as much as £130m with add-ons.

Sweden international Isak, 25, had a medical on Monday before signing a six-year contract.

Isak, who will wear the number nine shirt with the Reds, told the Liverpool website: “This is the next step for me in my career. I’m super happy that I’ve been given this chance and I’m very motivated to do something well with it.

“I want to create history. I want to win trophies. That’s ultimately the biggest motivation for me.

“This is the perfect place for me to grow even further and to take my game to the next level and help the team as well.”

Liverpool had an original £110m offer for Isak rejected in August but have now landed their first-choice target of the summer.

The protracted saga came to an end on the final day of the transfer window, with the Reds announcing the deal at 21:30 BST, two and a half hours after the window closed.

It follows Newcastle having signed Germany international striker Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart last week and Brentford forward Yoane Wissa in a £50m deal on Monday

However, Liverpool failed to complete a £35m deal to sign England defender Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. The 25-year-old had a medical with the Reds, but Palace’s failure to sign a replacement meant the deal collapsed.

FG approves major NYSC reform, civilian to lead agency

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a comprehensive reform of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), marking the first major overhaul of the scheme since its establishment 53 years ago.   According to Channels Television, the reforms aim to transform the NYSC into a skill-oriented, productivity-driven institution that empowers young Nigerians and supports the Federal Government’s goal of building a $1 trillion economy. As part of the approved changes, the Federal Executive Council directed the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Ministry of Youth to amend the NYSC Act and its regulations to reflect the new framework, allowing for its immediate implementation. A key aspect of the reform is that the NYSC will now be headed by a civilian in its operational leadership. The military will, however, continue to provide security for corps members across the country. The government said the leadership change is intended to reposition the scheme beyond its traditional structure and strengthen its focus on skills development, productivity, and youth empowerment. The NYSC was established by Decree No. 24 of May 22, 1973, following the Nigerian Civil War. It was created to promote national unity, reconciliation, and stronger ties among Nigerian youths through a mandatory one-year national service programme. The scheme is currently headed by Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu. The latest reforms represent the first holistic review of the NYSC since its inception in 1973.
