Patrick Vieira believes Newcastle United have signed a “quality” player in Alexander Isak. Toon chiefs broke the bank to land the Swedish international, obliterating the club’s transfer record previously held by Joelinton.
Just shy of £60million is what it took to lure the 22-year-old away from Real Sociedad but he has already started paying back the fee. Isak bagged a superb debut goal against Liverpool at Anfield just hours after being granted a work permit by the UK Home office.
A second strike - and dream debut - was denied due to a controversial offside call. However, on Wednesday night’s showing, Isak looks tailor-made for the rigours of the Premier League.
