Alexander Isak won't need any added motivation to impress at Newcastle United - but Stuart Pearce has admitted that he has 'got to be convinced' about the Magpies' new record buy.
Isak has become Newcastle's most expensive signing of all-time after completing his £58m move from Real Sociedad on Friday. Rather than being daunted by the price tag, however, Isak has embraced the 'responsibility' of it and vowed to 'do my best and give my all to help this club reach its goals'.
Eddie Howe certainly believes that Isak has the athleticism, technical attributes and 'X-factor' to thrive in the Premier League. Despite only being 22, crucially, Isak also has experience of adapting to life in Germany, the Netherlands and Spain and the Sweden international can, obviously, speak fluent English, which will be a huge help when it comes to settling in now that the season has already started.
