I think by now, it’s fair to say with certainty that Alexander Isak is the best player to wear a black and white shirt since Alan Shearer retired in 2006.
The number 9 spot has been a position that Newcastle have consistently tried and failed to fill since Shearer left, with a few forwards such as Ba, Cisse, Remy and Wilson temporarily putting a good shift in at filling it, but none of them have come close to the consistency and world class quality that Alexander Isak has displayed.
