Eddie Howe believes that Alexsander Isak got a great taste of life in the Premier League during the 1-1 draw at Wolves.
Unable to play because he is yet to receive a work permit, Isak watched on from the stands. Howe should now be able to alert him at Liverpool in midweek.
Howe said: “I think it would have been an eye-opener, it was a very physical game.

‘If I am looking at it through his eyes, I would be excited about the chances created. He will have to contribute to the game in a physical way.”
Howe is delighted with the signing after it was confirmed on Friday. But it came too late for him to get international clearance.
Howe added: “Strikers are always judged on their goal output and their creativity so we hope he makes a difference.
“He is a linker of play as well, not just a goalscorer and will contribute to all aspects of our play so I am excited.”
