Alexander Isak Scout Report

Alexander Isak has proved to be a formidable striker for Newcastle United in the Premier League for the 2023-2024 season. Aged just 23, the Swedish national has demonstrated excellent ball retention and progressive carrying capabilities, suggesting a composed and forward-driving playing style. His chance creation skills are among the top, as are his goal efficiency and goal threat statistics, indicating his double threat as a finisher and provider. Isak also shows proficiency in progressive passing, further highlighting his attacking prowess. Isak's low aerial duels win percentage is a notable weakness in his game, and he has shown shortcomings on a defensive front, particularly in one vs one defending and penalty area defending. Although he's less involved in ball recovery, this is to be expected from a player in his position. Despite his lower percentile in touches, Isak is very direct in attacks which is reflected in his high xG and shot ratings. His assist potential too is quite decent. His duel win percentage and pass accuracy are about average, which leaves room for improvement. Isak's age is also a positive factor, with good performances at this age demonstrating high potential for the future. Overall, Alexander Isak is a fantastic striker, with notable strengths in chance creation, goal involvement, and progressive play. His weaknesses appear to lie in aerial duels and defensive contributions, though this may be less critical for a player in his position.
