Newcastle have announced the signing of Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad for an undisclosed fee.

Isak becomes the Magpies’ fourth first team signing of the summer after Matt Targett, Nick Pope and Sven Botman and will wear shirt number 14.

Alexander Isak said: “I’m delighted to have it done. It was a big, big decision for me but it is a decision I am really happy with.

“It is a great, historical club that I think anyone would like to play for, with amazing fans. They were a big part of why I came here – and also the club’s project, which is one that I really believe in.

“You always want to go into a team and know how they play. I think Newcastle play very attractive football and I want to be a part of that.”
