Alexander Isak says Newcastle’s European ambitions have been turbo charged - and insist Eddie Howe’s team can compete with the elite.
The Sweden international hopes to shoot down Leicester on Monday night and gather the one point the Geordies need to secure a top four finish. Eddie Howe admits that the initial aim this season was “keep improving” his side from their 11th placed finish last term after their relegation scare.
Instead they have hit new levels of fitness and intensity which has rocketed the club to unexpected heights. Howe said: “It was about not being involved in a relegation battle. It was trying to be a stable Premier League team with a view on improving each year, and get to where we are now.
