Liverpool's Swedish striker Alexander Isak spent around 35,000 euros to buy a guard dog after receiving death threats, according to the Spanish newspaper 'Sport'. The report states that the Doberman will be used by the player to protect him outside the pitch as he adapts to his new life in Merseyside after joining Liverpool from Newcastle United last summer. The newspaper also notes that Isak and his Sweden national teammate, Arsenal striker Victor Gyökeres, received death threats after the Swedish team finished last in their group in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The Liverpool striker wants to feel safe off the pitch, and buying a guard dog has become a key part of his quest to achieve this goal. The company that provided the player with the dog said: 'Nothing is more loyal than a guard dog,' noting that this trend has become common among football players. It should be recalled that Alexander Isak, who joined Liverpool, has scored one goal and provided one assist in 8 matches, despite his transfer becoming the most expensive in the history of the English Premier League at 145 million euros.
