(Reuters) -Alexander Isak expressed his gratitude to Newcastle United and the club's supporters on Tuesday after his British-record transfer to Liverpool, despite a trail of criticism and a frosty farewell from St James' Park.
Newcastle fans were left with a bitter taste on Monday as the English champions secured the 25-year-old for 125 million pounds ($168.86 million) after the Sweden striker's standoff with the club ended with burned bridges and frayed loyalties.
