Alexander Isak has revealed that he has 'really liked' life in Newcastle since completing his 'dream' move to St James' Park.
Newcastle United smashed their transfer record to sign the Sweden international from Real Sociedad last summer and the new arrival quickly made an impact with a stunning goalscoring debut against Liverpool at Anfield. Isak went on to make a further two appearances for the club - scoring a penalty against Bournemouth - before suffering a thigh injury.
Isak has since had a positive result from his latest scan, following a recurrence of the same issue, and the World Cup break will now give the striker the chance to build up his fitness. Newcastle hope Isak will be available by the time the club calendar restarts next month and even the measured Eddie Howe has said that he is 'excited' by that prospect.
