Newcastle makes the supporters of Manchester United and Arsenal envious. Manchester City have their Haaland, Newcastle their Alexander Isak. Both Manchester United and Arsenal are without a world-class No. 9. On Friday, the summary of Alexander Isak’s month of December in the world’s toughest league was released.
The Swede has been named Premier League Player of the Month, the first time since 2022 that a Newcastle player has won this award.
For the Swedish super striker, it is the first time, but if we are to follow the development since his move to Newcastle in 2022, it is unlikely to be the last in the Premier League.
In December, Isak scored in all six games, and against Ipswich the 25-year-old scored a hat-trick. Both Manchester United and Arsenal experienced what it means to be without a striker like Isak, in both games against the two clubs, Isak was behind the goal and led Newcastle to a 2-0 victory.
We congratulate Isak on the award.
