Now at 25 years of age, he has marked his territory as a forward, predominantly functioning as a striker for Newcastle United.

For the following season, that being 2018-2019, Isak moved countries once again and joined Willem II in the Netherlands. Here, he made 16 first team appearances and dramatically increased his goal tally to 13. The consecutive season brought another relocation for Isak. This time he headed to Spain to join Real Sociedad for the 2019-2020 season, where his consistency showed in the 37 appearances he made, even though he only managed to score on nine occasions.
