**Alexander Isak has been an absolute revelation since his £63 million move to Newcastle United, scoring 20+ goals in each of his last two seasons on Tyneside.**
The Swedish star is eating through Alan Shearer's records at Newcastle, although he's got a long way to go before toppling him as the club's top scorer.
Eyebrows were raised when Newcastle paid £63 million for Isak back in 2022, but three seasons later and the big clubs cry themselves to sleep at night because he's a Magpie.
Isak only managed 10 Premier League goals in his first season at Newcastle, but that campaign was hampered by injuries as he can Callum Wilson tagged in and out of the treatment room.

Alexander Isak has surpassed 50 Premier League goals for Newcastle in just three seasons
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thankfully, he has managed to stay fit for the past two seasons, in which he has hit 21 and 23 goals, taking him past the 50 Premier League goals mark for Newcastle.
Meanwhile, his teammate and main competition, Callum Wilson, has been stuck on 47 Premier League goals (49 in all competitions) since he scored against Burnley in April last year.
Now, just to rub it in, the club have posted an image of Alexander Isak with his 50-goal award on their social media.
Can Callum Wilson reach that magic milestone for Newcastle?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Callum Wilson potentially only has two more games as a Newcastle United player in which to find three goals and bag his 50 Premier League goal award for the club.
Although there is still talk that the 33-year-old could be kept on beyond this season to bulk up the squad.
It's crazy that Wilson hasn't managed to hit this milestone given how prolific he is when fit. It really does go to show just how much football he's missed.
