We know we need to improve numbers in the squad. On the transfer front, we will wait and see.

Scouting Alexander Isak: Newcastle's new No.9 perfect for Eddie ... (Mirror.co.uk)

The Magpies are edging closer to completing a deal worth up to £60million for the Real Sociedad forward after reports this week confirmed personal terms ...

None of his goals last season were headers, and his last such goal came back in February 2021. He’s also a strong presser without possession too, something you might have expected given the solidity of Sociedad last season. It’s no coincidence that in the La Liga campaign prior when Sociedad seemed to approach games with more attacking freedom, scoring the fifth most La Liga goals, Isak netted 17 times. Although he did net a further four in European competitions, taking his season tally to a combined ten. Real Sociedad enjoyed a strong domestic campaign, finishing sixth in La Liga. Less efficient finishing combined with some bad luck is likely to be the explanation there.

Newcastle look all but set to smash their transfer record for a signing with the acquisition of Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak.

“It all depends on how the money is invested,” he says. “To be honest, in Spain the amount paid by the player has caused a great surprise,” says Ordas. “Isak's departure has been a surprise not only because of the money paid. But How have his three years at the club been viewed by Sociedad fans? Howe has favoured a 4-3-3 formation which has seen them unbeaten in their first three Premier League matches including holding reigning champions Manchester City to a thrilling 3-3 draw. But what will Newcastle be getting for their money?
