Arsenal central defender William Saliba has praised Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak.
William Saliba, who is one of the best players for Arsenal, has said on Sky Sports that Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak is very good.
The France international central defender has noted that he has not played against Isak.
But Saliba still considers the 23-year-old £120,000-a-week (Spotrac) Sweden international forward a very good player.
Praise for Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak from Arsenal central defender William Saliba
Saliba said about Isak, as transcribed by TBR: “I would probably say Haaland and then Rashford second and then Isak.
“I never played against him but I saw him and he is so good as well.
“Isak, I never played against him, but what I saw was really good.”
We believe that Alexander Isak is one of the best young forwards around and is a very important player for Newcastle United.
Isak had injury problems last season, but when he has been fit and has played, he has been very impressive.
The 23-year-old joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022.
The forward made 17 starts and five substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Magpies last season.
Isak scored 10 goals and gave one assist in those matches.
The youngster has scored two goals in four Premier League games for Eddie Howe’s side this campaign.
Isak is able to play as the lone man upfront or with another striker.
The Sweden international can operate out wide as well.
We believe that Isak is a gem of a footballer.
And he is only 23.
Isak is only going to improve and get better in the coming weeks.
