May 3rd News Newcastle striker Isaac has performed quite amazingly this season. He currently beat Haaland with 22 goals, ranking second in the Premier League scorer list after Salah. Newcastle coach Eddie Hau highly praised Isaac in the interview, saying that Isaac is a non-sale product of the team.

■About Isaac's importance to the team

Eddiehao said: "From my point of view, Isaac is not a seller. I want to build a squad to build the strongest team for next season. There is a lot to look forward to here, and the final stage of this season is crucial to us. I think we have a strong squad, and if we can strengthen the players for the first time after the recent transfer windows, it will make a huge difference for us. This is the direction I focus on."

■About Isaac's not the best form in recent games

Eddiehao said: "He is still scoring key goals for us, which I always remember. Especially the penalty against Ipswich last week. Although people think the penalty is worthy of the penalty, that game against Ips Vic's score was 0-0, which was the moment when he needed to calmly complete the task and score, and he did it."

"I must admit that we have not fully activated his offensive participation in the recent past, especially in the match against Ipswich. He recovered in the second half, but I think Isak's performance in recent weeks still has room for improvement. However, we are working hard for this, and we need to pay attention to his previous minor groin injury limiting his training ability. This week, he is in good condition and has performed well. He is a player who changes the situation, and we need him to remain in 100%. "

At present, Swedish international Isak has ranked among the highest-priced strikers in the world football world, so the transfer rumors about him leaving Newcastle this summer are rampant. Clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Barcelona have all had scandals with the 25-year-old striker, and Isaac's contract with Newcastle will last until the summer of 2028.
