Newcastle Sign Alexander Isak From Real Sociedad

Newcastle United have announced the signing of Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad for a fee £63m.

Newcastle are awaiting international clearance to have the Sweden international, who underwent a medical on Thursday, eligible for Sunday’s trip to Wolves.

Isak travelled to Tyneside by private jet, alongside his representatives, Newcastle sporting director Dan Ashworth and head of recruitment Steve Nickson on Thursday morning.

Ashworth and Nickson had spent the previous 48 hours in Spain agreeing a deal with Real Sociedad.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe made it known in an interview that he was keen to involve Isak as soon as possible with Callum Wilson – his other striking option – unavailable for a few weeks due to an injury.
