Alexander Isak has the “X-factor” to be a hit at Newcastle.
Coach Eddie Howe has this morning landed his No1 target and club record £58m signing taking his spending to around £210m since January. Howe says the club have splashed out the monster fee for a young Swedish talent who has his “best years” ahead and will improve.
The Real Sociedad and former Dortmund striker, 22, was on Tyneside on Thursday and ready to train with his new team on Friday and is expected to be registered in time to play against Wolves. He has penned a six year deal. In his first verdict on Isak’s signing, Howe said: “He has pace, technical ability, dribbling ability, he has got a bit of X-factor about him. He is slightly different and I think he is capable of scoring goals.
