Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has raved about Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak after watching him in action against Aston Villa this past weekend.
The former Manchester United defender has said on his podcast that Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is a very good striker.
Newcastle got the better of Aston Villa 5-1 at St. James’ Park in the Premier League this past weekend.
Isak scored two goals, first in the 16th minute and then on 58 minutes.
Praise for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak
And Neville was impressed with the £120,000-a-week (SalarySport) striker.
Neville said about Isak: “Isak looks like a hell of a player.”
Isak is one of the best young strikers in the Premier League and is a key figure for Newcastle United.
The Sweden international did not have the best of times last season due to injury issues.
But, when Isak was fit and available, he was absolutely brilliant for Newcastle.
The 23-year-old made 17 starts and five substitute appearances in the Premier League for Newcastle last season.
Isak scored 10 goals and gave one assist in those games.
Newcastle finished in the top four of the Premier League table last season.
And Eddie Howe’s side will be determined to do the same this season as well.
Newcastle will also play in the UEFA Champions League this season.
Isak can play on his own upfront or alongside another striker.
We believe that Isak is a huge talent, and that Newcastle are a better team with the striker in it.
