ALEXANDER ISAK publicly addressed his acrimonious exit from Newcastle which led to a record move to Liverpool.
Isak, 25, got embroiled in a dramatic transfer saga that lasted the entire summer as he refused to train and play for the Magpies.

The striker was so determined to move to Anfield that he went on strike and even issued a scathing statement on social media where he claimed promises were broken at St James’ Park.
However, the Sweden international finally got his dream move on deadline day after the Merseysiders splashed a Premier League record fee worth £130million.
The ex-Real Sociedad star then penned a six-year contract and immediately jetted off for international duty.
The centre-forward broke his silence about the recent transfer drama for the first time on Monday after Sweden’s shock loss at Kosovo.
The former Newcastle star issued a cryptic statement and insisted he will soon give his side of the story regarding the bitter end to his time with the Toon.
Isak told Swedish media: “Not everyone has the full picture, but that’s something for another day.
“I can’t control everything that’s said or written. But I’m happy that I became a Liverpool player.
“It’s great that everything was settled before the camp and that I could focus on playing football again.

“It’s been a fairly new situation for me, but you always learn and develop mentally off the pitch as well.”
Isak confirmed he received “hate” after his move to Liverpool but hinted there was nothing out of the ordinary.
He added: “You get hate when you play good games too. There are always people who are dissatisfied.
“Unfortunately, that’s something you have to live with… You can probably decide that for yourself.
“The transfer window and the club team situation are separate. It can have effects. But I’m glad that things are clear. Now the focus is on getting in shape.”
Isak also remained coy when asked if he has any regrets after all the summer tension.
He said: “It is possible to discuss a lot and for a long time. But it has been educational.
“I am satisfied with the final result. I am very happy and proud to be a Liverpool player.”
