Isak has attracted interest from several top clubs across Europe due to his attacking versatility and potential. He has scored 43 goals in 130 appearances for Sociedad over the last three seasons and is understood to have a release clause of around £76million.

“Every player wants to be the best version of themselves and reach the highest possible level. I have expectations for myself that I’m trying to fulfil, so we’ll see where the journey takes me in future.”
