Former professional footballer Freddie Ljungberg has high hopes for his fellow Swede, Alexander Isak. Ljungberg believes that Isak has what it takes to make a big move to a Premier League giant like Arsenal, Chelsea, or Manchester City, where he can reach the pinnacle of his career.
Since joining the Premier League in 2022, Isak has made a name for himself as one of the most highly-rated forwards in the league. In his first season at St James' Park, he reached double digits in goals and last season, he scored an impressive 25 goals in all competitions, with only Cole Palmer and Erling Haaland scoring more in the Premier League.
Isak has been linked with some of the biggest clubs in Europe, but Newcastle has managed to keep potential suitors at bay. However, Ljungberg, a two-time Premier League winner, believes that Isak has the potential to go to another level at a club like Arsenal, Chelsea, or Manchester City. He describes his compatriot as "freaking special."
"I really like Isak. His top level is huge," Ljungberg told Swedish outlet Expressen. "As a coach, I look for players with superpowers, and Isak definitely has them. He has the speed, finishing ability, and understanding of the game that sets him apart. I believe he can reach the absolute top because of these qualities."
Ljungberg also admires Isak's humble and hardworking attitude towards the game. He hopes that the young striker will continue to progress and fulfill his potential. "I really want things to go incredibly well for him. He deserves it," Ljungberg added.
Although Manchester City currently has star striker Erling Haaland, Ljungberg believes that Isak could still make a big impact at the club. However, he also acknowledges that Arsenal and Chelsea have shown interest in signing a new goalscorer in the past.
Isak has been out of action for a month due to an injury, but he is set to return to the field this Saturday when Newcastle takes on Brighton at St James' Park. Under the guidance of new manager Eddie Howe, Newcastle has only lost one of their first seven games and sits just outside the top-four places.
In conclusion, Ljungberg believes that Isak has the potential to become a top player at a top club. Whether it's at Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea, or Manchester City, Ljungberg hopes to see Isak continue to pour in goals and reach the pinnacle of his career.
