With the two goals against Osasuna, he emerged as the Real Sociedad's best scorer this season. He has scored ten goals in the league game and the Spanish Cup.

- I think you see a difference now compared to earlier in the season. I think he looks faster, there are better clips in the step. As soon as the ball approaches the penalty area he is clear in his runs and you are often looking for him in the final third. It is a sign that he is rising in status within the team, says Nannskog.

Isaac has mainly acted as a hopeful this season, but lately he has gained confidence in the starting elf ahead of star Willian José.

- It wasn't as obvious that you would put the ball on him earlier, but now it feels like the players around him are looking for him. It is a very clear sign that he is about to receive star status and that they trust that it is he who will do it as a forward. That is very important. He has risen in the hierarchy, says the expert.

The success, of course, also makes him difficult to overlook for a European Championship this summer. Sweden has a tough competition in the offensive with, for example, Robin Quaison, Sebastian Andersson and Dejan Kulusevski who have done good seasons.

- It's really fun to see this development and it promises good for the European Championships. Very good for the national team.

- The offensive, which you shouted a few years ago, suddenly feels very exciting. It will be tough for Janne Andersson, but that's how you want it as a coach, says Nannskog.
