Howe said about Isak: “He was tired today because he gave so much. He deserved to stay on the pitch. He was brilliant invert aspect.”

Important player for Newcastle United

In our view, Alexander Isak is one of the best young players in the Premier League and is a big player for Newcastle United.

The 23-year-old has had injury problems during his time at St. James’ Park so far, but he is fit now and is starting matched.

Newcastle are starting to get back into form, and Isak will be a big player for the team in the coming weeks and months.
