Alexander Isak in a sentence

Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson both finished the season in fine form, with the latter ending as Newcastle's top scorer with his career-best return of 18 Premier League goals.

Alexander Isak can be the key to Newcastle United qualifying for the Champions League next season, according to Jermaine Jenas, as he claimed that Eddie Howe's side "have more stability" than Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.

Alexander Isak gave Newcastle an early lead before Raheem Sterling brilliantly equalised with a free-kick, before two quick-fire goals from Jamaal Lascelles and Joelinton set the Magpies on course for the three points.

Alexander Isak has passed a late fitness test and is available for Newcastle United in their return to Premier League action against Burnley (3pm kick-off) at St James’ Park.

Alexander Isak put Newcastle in front in the first half but the Premier League side were unable to hang on for the win as Tino Livramento was punished for a harsh handball in injury time, which allowed Mbappe to equalise from the penalty spot.

Alexander Isak started up front against the Cherries, and the number nine could give Howe a decision to make up front.

Alexander Isak was brought in over the summer to cover for Wilson should his unreliable fitness record persist, and yet ironically the Swede has spent even longer on the sidelines with a hamstring injury of his own.

Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak set for run in team together?

Harvey Barnes as well gives competition out wide with Miguel Almiron, Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak.

Head coach Eddie Howe, who confirmed record signing Alexander Isak had sat out under concussion protocols, said: “Because of our form this season, these types of games feel like defeats.

Howe faces the welcome selection dilemma of choosing between in-form duo Alexander Isak or Callum Wilson up front, or even considering a partnership from the outset which has proven successful on several occasions from the bench.

However, injuries to Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak means the Toon are looking to strengthen their forward line and have been linked with Ekitike again.

Minutes later, Virgil Van Dijk brought down Alexander Isak when he was through on goal and the Liverpool captain was dismissed through a straight red card.

Newcastle took the lead in the 23rd minute when Alexander Isak won a penalty as he tried to spin away from Forest full-back Ola Aina, and the Swedish striker stepped up to stroke home the spot-kick low to left of keeper Matt Turner.

Should Almiron make it back he could join both Allan Saint-Maximin, pushing for fitness, and Alexander Isak in attack.

The big news was that Alexander Isak was back in the starting line-up as he led the line of attack with Miguel Almiron and Anthony Gordon.

The Netherlands international was dismissed for a foul on Alexander Isak in the first half of Liverpool’s 2-1 victory at St James’ Park on August 27 but there was a lengthy delay while VAR checked all aspects of the offence.

There's also plenty of back stories to tell with Sandro Tonali returning to AC Milan, Alexander Isak returning to Borussia Dortmund and arguably the best player in the world, Kylian Mbappe, rocking up on Tyneside.

Tonali was magnificent, Burn did everything that was asked of him and Alexander Isak was unlucky to walk off with the match ball.

Wilson's stunning month in front of goal has fans itching to see the Magpies No 9 and Alexander Isak deployed at the same time, from the outset.
