Career

Isak began his senior career with AIK in 2016, and on April 7th, he became the youngest scorer in the club's history at the age of 16 years and 199 days. In January 2017, he signed a long-term contract with the Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.

Alexander didn't make any appearances for Borussia Dortmund during the 2018–19 season, and the team loaned him to Willem II, a Dutch Eredivisie club. Isak helped Willem II reach the Dutch cup final for the first time in over a decade, and on March 30, 2019, he became the first player in history to score three penalties in an Eredivisie match. A few weeks later, Alexander became the first foreign-born Eredivisie player to score a dozen goals in his first 12 league games. In June 2019, he signed a five-year contract with the La Liga club Real Sociedad. Isak scored 16 goals during his first season with the team, including the winning goal in the Basque derby. The team won the 2020 Copa del Rey Final, and Alexander scored his first hat-trick in a February 2021 match against Deportivo Alavés, which made him the first Swedish La Liga player to score a hat-trick since 1949.

In August 2022, Isak signed a six-year contract with the Premier League club Newcastle United. On August 31st, he was named Man of the Match, and after a match against Bournemouth, he had to sit out 16 matches because of a hamstring injury. He finished his second season with Newcastle as the club's top scorer (21 league goals). He scored his first hat-trick for the team in December 2024, becoming the first Swedish Premier League player to score a hat-trick since 2003.

The culprits were siblings Giacomo Nikolov, Valentino Nikolov, and Jela Jovanoic and Jovanoic's son Charlie. The BBC reported that the thieves "also stole the footballer's car keys so they could use his Audi RS6 as a battering ram to force open his gates, with the vehicle, worth £120,000, later found abandoned nearby."
