Alexander Isak can be the key to Newcastle United qualifying for the Champions League next season, according to Jermaine Jenas, as he claimed that Eddie Howe's side "have more stability" than Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
Isak's last-minute winner against Nottingham Forest before the international break means that a win against Manchester United on Sunday will see Newcastle leapfrog the Red Devils and move up into third place. A spot in the top-four is still firmly within the Magpies' grasp as they look to use their two games in hand over Tottenham to put some distance between themselves and the side currently occupying fourth place.
Newcastle's defence has without question been superb this season, but Jenas believes it will be whether or not his former side can get firing up the other end of the pitch that will make all the difference come May after he singled out Isak as the one who can step up for Howe's team.
