Alexander Isak is one of Europe’s most prolific strikers having scored 17 goals in his last 17 games since the start of December.

The Swede has helped fire Newcastle United to Wembley and has also put them in the mix for Champions League qualification.

But the question is can they deliver the success needed to keep him at St James’ Park?

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic's Chris Waugh and Jacob Whitehead to explore what it is that makes Isak the player he is as well as the cult hero he's become on Tyneside before exploring how difficult, or not, it may be to keep hold of him this summer.

Host: Ayo Akinwolere

With: Chris Waugh and Jacob Whitehead
