Sweden's 'take charge' message to Alexander Isak that Eddie Howe can replicate at Newcastle United

Alexander Isak must step up and become a leader for Newcastle United, just as he is with Sweden, following his £58m summer move.

The 22-year-old has arrived for international duty with his country for the first time since becoming a Magpies player last month. Isak will be involved for the upcoming friendlies with Serbia and Slovenia and is expected to be handed a great deal of responsibility in the national setup.
