Real Sociedad’s Swedish striker Aleksender Isak has been signed by Newcastle United. This is reported by the Spanish edition of El Diario Vasco.
The deal is valued at around £60m (€71.2m) and the striker’s move to St James’ Park is now thought to be imminent.
The move would see the 22-year-old Sweden international become Newcastle’s record-breaking player ahead of Bruno Guimarães, who joined the club from Lyon.
Isak was previously linked with Arsenal and is considered one of the most interesting young strikers in Europe.
