Swedish striker Alexander Isak has been bought by Newcastle from Real Sociedad for a club record £70m. After a breakthrough on Tuesday, negotiations between the two clubs are going well. Dan Ashworth, Newcastle’s sporting director, and Steve Nickson, head of recruitment, are in Spain to complete the transaction.
Isak is seen as Newcastle’s biggest goal and has 44 goals in 132 games for Sociedad. They were negotiating with Watford for a £30m deal for Joao Pedro, but Callum Wilson’s injury forced their attention to Isak, considered one of Europe’s best forward hopes.
Isak is happy with the conditions provided and his signing will increase the expectation of Newcastle fans who are preparing to welcome one of the most potential defenders in Europe. He’s 6 feet 4 inches, fast, and the 22-year-old veteran has 37 caps for Sweden.

Role of Alexander Isak in Real Sociedad
“I really don’t think there is another team in the Europa League that is a bigger favorite than us.The Swedish striker tells sources. In Real Sociedad, where the 22-year-old player broke a career record with 17 goals in the league last season, Alexander Isak continues to make waves in Spain.
AIK genius Isak, who joined Borussia Dortmund at the age of 17, did not fare well in the Bundesliga despite having a notable loan in Willem II in the Netherlands. It was enough to get Real Sociedad to be transferred to Liga, and while his team competes with Monaco and PSV for first place in the fiercely competitive Group B of the UEFA Europa League, Isak tells sources he has no regrets.
While Juventus, Everton and Arsenal are already showing interest in him, he is interested in Newcastle’s new venture. The sale of the Swedish national player will also be the most expensive in the history of the Spanish team. To continue their undefeated start to the season, Newcastle, St. James’ Park will feature Isak, Callum Wilson and Chris Wood for top forwards. After a win and two draws against Nottingham Forest, they have five points in their first three games.
