Former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh has showered praise on Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, describing the Swedish international as one of the most complete forwards in modern football.
Softfootball gathered that Oliseh shared his admiration for the in-form striker while discussing the qualities that separate elite attackers from the rest.
Isak has enjoyed an outstanding campaign for Newcastle, playing a key role in the club’s impressive performances in both the Premier League and Carabao Cup. His consistent goal-scoring form has attracted widespread praise, with many regarding him as one of Europe’s most dangerous attackers.
Oliseh highlighted Isak’s movement, first touch, technical ability and football intelligence as qualities that make him stand out.
According to the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder, the Newcastle star contributes far more than goals by linking play effectively and creating opportunities for teammates throughout matches.
The Nigerian football legend admitted he would choose Isak ahead of many other top strikers because of his complete style of play and versatility. With Newcastle continuing to challenge for major honours this season, Isak’s influence is expected to remain crucial as Eddie Howe’s side chase success on multiple fronts.
