Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak has been making waves this season, with his teammate Anthony Gordon praising the Swedish forward as being on par with only one other top-class striker in the world.
Isak, who has scored 21 goals in all competitions this season, has been the driving force behind Newcastle’s impressive fifth-place standing in the Premier League table, which is level with Manchester City. Despite the team’s struggle to find multiple goal scorers, Isak’s stellar performances have propelled the Magpies forward.
Isak: A Force to Be Reckoned With
The 25-year-old striker was the hero once again on Sunday, netting a brace in Newcastle’s thrilling 4-3 win over Nottingham Forest. This performance has taken Isak’s league goal tally to 19 for the season, and he’ll be looking to add to that when Newcastle faces Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Newcastle players and legends alike have been quick to praise Isak’s form, with club icon Alan Shearer previously labeling him “world-class.” Now, teammate Anthony Gordon has gone a step further, comparing Isak to only one other top-class striker in the world: England captain Harry Kane.
Kane, who has been in outstanding form for Bayern Munich this season, scoring 21 goals in 21 Bundesliga games, is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the game. Gordon’s comparison of Isak to Kane is a testament to the Swedish forward’s incredible talent and impact on the team.
Keeping the Magpies’ Stars
Both Isak and Gordon have been linked with moves away from Newcastle, with Arsenal reportedly interested in Isak and Liverpool reportedly interested in Gordon. However, with both players still in the early stages of their careers, it is crucial for Newcastle’s leadership to do everything possible to keep them at the club.
If Isak and Gordon can be retained, the Magpies could be a serious force in the Premier League for years to come. Their combined talent and goal-scoring ability could be the key to Newcastle’s continued success and progression as a top-tier club.
Call to Action: With Isak and Gordon leading the charge, Newcastle’s future looks bright. Stay tuned for more updates on the Magpies’ journey as they aim to secure a top-four finish and a spot in the Champions League.
