Alexander Isak has now scored in 3 consecutive Premier League matches.
The Swede arrives at the Swedish national team camp in top form.
24-year-old Alexander Isak scored 2 goals for Newcastle as they played to a 2-2 draw away against West Ham this weekend. It was the third consecutive Premier League match in which the striker found the net. In all competitions, he has scored 5 goals in the last 5 games, making Isak head into the Swedish national team matches with great confidence. This season, he has shared playing time with Callum Wilson, but in the recent rounds of the Premier League, he has demonstrated that he is the primary striker for Newcastle.
Alexander Isak stats in the Premier League 2023/24:
◉ 7 games
◉ 6 goals
◉ 0 assists
◉ 18 shots
◉ 11 shots on target
◉ 3 chances created
Isak and Son at Tottenham both have 6 Premier League goals, making them the closest pursuers to Haaland, who has scored 8 goals. Isak is yet to score in the Champions League, although he found the net in the triumph against Manchester City in the EFL Cup.
Overall, it must be said that Isak has been a strong signing for Newcastle since they acquired the promising talent from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022.
Isak record for Newcastle:
◉ 37 games
◉ 17 goals
◉ 3 assists
Isak has struggled with some unfortunate injuries during his time at Newcastle, and he might have had more goals/assists to his name if he had played more matches. Now, he needs to stay injury-free so that he doesn't have to rebuild his form as he has done before. He is expected to be Newcastle's top striker, especially as they compete in European football.
If he can stay injury-free, he has the potential to have a great season, and there's a good chance he might end up among the top goal-scorers in the Premier League for the season.
