deadline day transfer in history<\/strong><\/a> when they paid Newcastle \u00a3125m for the striker.<\/p>\n<p>Isak, 26, is yet to live up to his record-breaking fee.<\/p>\n<p>The Swede has registered just two goal involvements to date.<\/p>\n<p>He scored in September&#8217;s EFL Cup win over Championship side Southampton, and provided an assist as Liverpool lost 2-1 at Chelsea last

Money<\/h2>\n<p>While one Liverpool striker signing has flattered to deceive, another has already proven his worth.<\/p>\n<p>Hugo Ekitike joined the Reds from Eintracht Frankfurt for a fee of \u00a379m.<\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman has already scored six times for Arne Slot&#8217;s side, and added an assist to give him seven total goal involvements.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_66771\"

difficult decision if he plans to start just one of the pair.<\/p>\n<h2>Newcastle Have Signed A Gem In Nick Woltemade<\/h2>\n<p>Another man who&#8217;s made an excellent start at his new club is Newcastle&#8217;s Nick Woltemade.<\/p>\n<p>Many thought <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/newcastle-replace-isak-wissa-woltemade\/\"><strong>Newcastle replaced Isak with Brentford&#8217;s Yoane Wissa<\/strong><\/a>, but it&#8217;s Woltemade that&#8217;s been making the headlines.<\/p>\n<p>The German was signed by Eddie Howe for \u00a369m, and he&#8217;s performed brilliantly so far.<\/p>\n<p>Still only 23, Woltemade was not predicted by many to adapt as quickly as he has to the Premier League.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_64786\"

Best Value Striker Signing So Far<\/h2>\n<p>Woltemade and Ekitike may have been good, but no big-money striker has offered better value so far than Joao Pedro.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian followed a

signing that promised much was Benjamin Sesko&#8217;s \u00a374m move to Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>The Slovenian&#8217;s arrival from RB Leipzig was touted as one of the best signings of the
