Former Liverpool player Robbie Fowler suggested that Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins could be a suitable alternative if the Isak deal falls through. Fowler believes that Watkins, although 29 years old, is an experienced and skilled player who could be a good fit for the team.

Watkins has made significant contributions to his team, with 22 goal involvements in 35 Premier League games this season. This is comparable to Isak's 23 goals in 32 games. Both players are highly skilled strikers, and bringing either one to the team could improve Liverpool's chances of retaining their Premier League title.
