Alexander Isak's £58m move has been overshadowed somewhat by injuries to Newcastle United's key men since his arrival. The Swede is yet to partner Callum Wilson in attack, has only featured alongside Bruno Guimaraes for 72 minutes and hasn't had the chance to play alongside French flyer Allan Saint-Maximin.
It feels as though the last of those partnerships is the one hindering Isak most at present. The 23-year-old may have found the net twice in three games since his Real Sociedad exit - but he has failed to create a convincing partnership with Ryan Fraser or Miguel Almiron so far this term.
Saint-Maximin daring runs and willingness to get in behind have been missed in recent games - and it's currently looking like Isak is crying out for a wide man who can beat a man to the byline before finding him in the area.
