Swedish attacking star Alexander Isak is leaving Spanish Real Sociedad and is ready for big investment Newcastle.
The price tag is said to be close to SEK 750 million.
Daniel Nannskog describes the transition as controversial and sportingly heavy.
- It is controversial considering where the money comes from (Newcastle's Saudi owners).
If you look at it from a sporting perspective, I have to say that it is a very cool overshoot.
Seeing Isak in the Premier League will be incredibly interesting.
What can we expect from him in the Premier League?
- He has the speed.
He also has the goalscoring, although it hasn't been 100 percent in the last season.
I think he can do well, but there will also be enormous pressure on him.
The price tag, which should be very large, shows that Newcastle are investing heavily in Isak and that they have a lot of faith in him.
Do you see this as a good career move for Isak?
- It feels reasonable.
He certainly loses the guaranteed trust that he usually had in Soceidad, but this still feels like a step up.
Newcastle is investing heavily and will not stop strengthening the squad.
There is a risk that there will be more bench for him now, but he should get many chances considering the price tag.
