Alexander Isak continues to gain momentum to become the future striker of FC Barcelona. The Swede has established himself as one of the top scorers at Newcastle and last Wednesday he demonstrated it again in the match between the 'magpies' and Wolverhampton, scoring a brace to lead his team to a 3-0 victory and place them in fourth position in the league table.
With these two goals, the Nordic player has already accumulated 15 goals in the Premier League and occupies third place in the league's scoring ranking, just 1 goal behind Erling Haaland and 2 behind Mohamed Salah, the leader in this category. However, 12 of these 15 goals have come in the last 10 matches, which further highlights the impressive record of the player.
Isak joins a historic list
Moreover, after scoring against the 'Wolves', Isak joined an exclusive club that, until last Wednesday, had only three players in the entire history of the championship. The striker has now achieved his eighth consecutive Premier League match scoring at least one goal. A record that had only been achieved so far by Daniel Sturridge, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, and Jamie Vardy.
The numbers of Alexander become even more relevant considering that among his victims are teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester United, making it clear that he is ready for the big occasions.
Meanwhile, at Can Barça, they are closely monitoring him and he would be the preferred option for the sports management to take over from Robert Lewandowski in the center of the attack. Although it seems difficult for Newcastle to part with their star player, the Catalans keep his name on the table and, if he maintains this level until the end of the season, all signs point to them making a strong push for his signing next summer.
