Alexander Isak, the talented Swedish striker, expressed confidence that he can achieve his career goals while at Newcastle United, although he remained somewhat non-committal when discussing his future aspirations. Since joining the club from Real Sociedad in 2022, Isak has made a significant impact in the Premier League, netting an impressive 50 goals in just 77 appearances.
His remarkable scoring record has inevitably sparked interest from top clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool, especially as Newcastle heads into a crucial EFL Cup final against one of those rivals this Sunday.
The 25-year-old forward, who is under contract at St James’ Park until 2028, emphasized his satisfaction with his current situation during a recent interview. “That is why I came here,” Isak stated when asked about his long-term ambitions. He reiterated his focus on the present: “I have said many times that I don’t really think too much about my future. I’m happy here, and we are competing for titles, which is what every football player dreams of”.
Reflecting on Newcastle’s recent progress, Isak noted the team’s journey to finals, indicating a growing momentum within the squad. “We have been to one final and now we are preparing for another. The chances are there,” he remarked, stressing the importance of focusing on the immediate challenge ahead.
As Newcastle aims to secure its first trophy in years, Isak remains committed to his role within the team. “We should look at it one season at a time, and this season, we can win a trophy. I have said many times I am focused on doing a job. All of our focus is on Sunday and bringing that trophy back,” he concluded, reflecting the determination and ambition that he and his teammates share as they strive for success.
