Alan Shearer sends message to Newcastle United's record signing Alexander Isak

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has wished club-record signing Alexander Isak 'good luck' after his blockbuster move from Real Sociedad was confirmed. The Sweden international was announced as the Magpies' fourth senior recruit this summer, after a deal in the region of £58 million was agreed with the La Liga side.

Isak was pictured on Tyneside on Thursday undergoing a medical at the club's Benton base before travelling to St James' Park. The 22-year-old forward has been handed the number 14 shirt, with reports suggesting a six-year deal has been signed.

Pictures of Isak wearing the black-and-white stripes unsurprisingly accompanied Newcastle's announcement on Friday announcement of their club-record signing. Footage showed the forward walking out on to the St James' Park turf for the first time, and he also posed for pictures on the pitch as well as in the dressing room.
