Isak's £30k Guard Dog: Premier League Star's New Protector
22 Nov
Summary
- Liverpool player Alexander Isak invested £30,000 in a guard dog.
- The dog was acquired after Isak received death threats.
- Other Premier League stars also own guard dogs for security.
Liverpool forward Alexander Isak has reportedly acquired a £30,000 guard dog, a highly trained Dobermann, to bolster his personal security. This significant investment comes in the wake of his national team, Sweden, receiving death threats during their World Cup qualifying campaign. The incident reportedly led to around ten comments being reported to the police.
Isak's decision reflects a growing concern among Premier League players regarding personal safety. Several high-profile footballers, including Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford, have opted for guard dogs as a deterrent against potential break-ins. This trend is amplified by past incidents, such as Raheem Sterling's home being raided during the 2022 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Isak's club manager, Arne Slot, acknowledged the player's need for time to reach full fitness and match sharpness. Slot indicated that Isak will be integrated into the team during a busy fixture period, with the expectation that he will eventually perform at the level seen during his time at Newcastle once fully fit.
