Alexander Isak: Magpies hero

For a decade, fans arrived at St James' Park longing to see the Alan Shearer arm-raise. These days, I tap my digital season ticket on the turnstile and head inside with the hope that Isak's trademark thumb celebration will make an appearance. It usually does.

We have on our hands a generational talent, and there's a collective sense that we need to enjoy watching the 25-year-old while we can. I've never seen a forward like Isak in black and white. His style of play is incredibly easy on the eye. His movements are balletic, even out of possession. It's a joy to watch him press opponents. He doesn't actually press - he swoops. But, like a ballet dancer, he's powerful. There is a tenacity and intensity to his game.
