Former Arsenal Star Names Newcastle Player Who Would Make Real Madrid ‘Perfect’
Currently enjoying a solid season with four goals in nine Premier League matches, Isak has shown why he’s frequently linked with Europe’s elite clubs. How many goals has Alexander Isak scored for Newcastle? Since joining Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022, he has netted an impressive 40 goals in 78 appearances, including a standout 21-goal season in the last Premier League campaign, per Transfermarkt.
This success hasn’t gone unnoticed, with Chelsea reportedly interested in him over the summer. Although Isak is contracted with Newcastle until 2028, the club has yet to engage in renewal talks, fueling speculation about a potential exit in 2025. According to the Standard, Arsenal has also shown interest in acquiring his talents should he choose to leave St. James’ Park. Walcott explains why Isak is perfect for Madrid Walcott, meanwhile, would love to see Isak return to La Liga, this time in the famous white of Real Madrid.
"Look at Real Madrid’s line-up at this moment in time," Walcott noted, as quoted by Goal reflecting on Madrid’s tendency to recruit Galactico-level players. "I would say that if you put Isak in that Real team, then he moulds them together in a different way, where you might think they now look like a very well-balanced team."
In Walcott’s view, Isak’s game could bring harmony to a Madrid squad brimming with talent but sometimes lacking tactical balance. "That’s the level he's at, and I can absolutely understand why all the very top teams would want him," he concluded.
