Virgil van Dijk has called Alexander Isak the ‘complete striker’ and is delighted to have the record signing as a Liverpool teammate.Isak is poised to make his Liverpool debut against Atletico Madrid this evening, having joined from Newcastle United in a British record deal on deadline day. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});The Swedish striker scored 62 goals in109 games for Newcastle, including four in six appearances against Liverpool. That return included the winner for Newcastle in last season’s Carabao Cup final and Van Dijk admitted he is glad to now be playing with – and not against – Isak.“Obviously he’s a clinical finisher. I think if you look at his finishing skills: heading, left, right, top corners – he’s the complete striker at the moment, and the same you can say about Hugo [Ekitike].“I think they are obviously maybe a little bit different but not by much, they both have so much quality. They are comfortable on the ball so they can link up play, they have pace and that’s basically what’s being asked nowadays from the modern-day striker. Both are a handful and it’s obviously good that both are on my side now! Hopefully they can show that in the next games and the whole year for the opponents.“We want to perform, we want to show that we have the quality to play on the highest level, to play for Liverpool and to play Champions League football. Hopefully for him, score a lot of goals and that’s it.
