Team: Borussia Dortmund
Position: Striker
Age: 18
Ask any striker who they would like to be compared to and Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be high up the rankings. Alexander Isak is known to some as the next iteration of the ponytailed maestro. For once, that does not seem ludicrous.
Isak forced his way into the AIK first-team at just 16 and by the time his 17th birthday rolled around he was leading the line in The Twin Derby against Djurgardens. He had scored by the 15th minute. Some birthday.
He’s a physical presence with the technical ability to match. Isak is brilliant on the ball and demands it at all times. He’s also some finisher, with 10 goals in the Swedish top flight last season.
It was no surprise that the likes of Real Madrid came calling, but he made a sensible move and joined Borussia Dortmund. Chances will come more freely there than at the Spanish giants.
Very much one to watch.Borussia Dortmund's Alexander Isak is a strong finisher as well as being brilliant on the ball
