Alexander Isak has admitted his first few months at Newcastle United have been difficult. Supporters were left stunned at the Swede’s debut in August when he bagged at Anfield before having another controversially ruled out for offside.
Toon fans would be treated to just two more appearances before Isak suffered a thigh injury while on international duty. A setback derailed the 23-year-old’’s season further but the World Cup break allowed him to get back to full speed.
As was the case with Bruno Guimaraes and Sven Botman, Eddie Howe has also eased Isak into the starting line-up. The Toon boss staved off fierce calls from supporters to throw Isak into the team - and the move has paid dividends.
