Alexander Isak, born on 21 September 1999 (age 26), is a Swedish striker with a commanding 6ft 4in (1.92m) frame and a career that has moved steadily upwards without needing much theatre around it.
His route took him from Sweden into the wider European game while still young, with spells in Germany, the Netherlands and Spain before the Premier League became his main stage. At Newcastle United, he had his sharpest league campaign in 2024–25, scoring 23 goals in 34 appearances.
Isak is now Liverpool’s No 9 and remains a regular first-team presence in 2025–26. His scoring has been more modest than at Newcastle, with three goals in 14 Premier League appearances, plus one League Cup goal and seven Champions League appearances. Across all competitions for Liverpool, he has made 22 appearances and scored four goals.
His current market value is around £102m, according to Transfermarkt. The shape of the career is clear enough: a tall, mobile centre-forward who built his reputation across Europe, found a productive spell at Newcastle, and remains involved at the top end of the English game with Liverpool.
