Beyond the stats:
Alexander Isak, the 100-million-dollar man. He has been shouting his HIM from the jump and this season he’s got the world listening. Call this man the Swedish army knife – the way he can do it all. The most modern of 9s in the game today. Left foot, right foot, with the head, it does not matter, the result’s the same. Joined the Toon army and became their Swedish sniper. Came from Real Sociedad as a rising star, and now he’s in the stratosphere. The Magpies’ new favourite son, now shoulder to shoulder with the giants of the club.
27 G/A in the Premier League this season, with no look of slowing down. The stats speak volumes, but the performances paint a masterpiece. His movement is impeccable; his footwork is world class, and his IQ is extremely underrated. Has every defender he plays against fearing for the worst when they realise he’s not just a hired gun but a revolutionary in the way he dons the number 9 position. The 100-million-dollar man and rising. He may seem like AI the way he’s been balling out of this world, but make no mistake – he’s the realest in the game right now.
