The Swedish striker gave the hosts the lead in the north east on Tuesday evening against Everton after finding the back of the net just 15 minutes into proceedings. Isak has been Newcastle's biggest source of goals this season, with his latest strike taking him up to 19 in all competitions for Eddie Howe's side. Howe recently claimed that the 24-year-old - who joined from Real Sociedad in a club record £60m deal two-years ago - isn't for sale this summer and it's clear to see why.
