Liverpool have agreed to a British-record deal to sign striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United , sources told ESPN.

The Premier League champions have had a £125M bid accepted to sign the Sweden international, who is expected to undergo a medical ahead of Monday's transfer deadline.

It brings an end to one of the summer's most-protracted transfer sagas, with Isak having spent more than a month agitating for a move away from Newcastle. The 25-year-old did not join the club on their preseason tour of the Far East and has not featured for Eddie Howe's side this season.

He also released a sensational statement earlier this month in which he claimed promises had been "broken" by the Newcastle hierarchy and insisted a move this summer would be in the best interests of all parties.
