Isak nominated for 2023/24 award alongside Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal stars

Alexander Isak has been nominated for the Premier League’s young player of the season award for 2023/24 following a stunning campaign at St James’ Park (vote for him here!).

The striker hit the 20-goal mark in last weekend’s 4-1 win over Burnley and has the second best minutes-per-goal rate in the league, behind only Erling Haaland.

He’s up against some heavyweight competition for the award, with Haaland also nominate alongside Man City teammate Phil Foden, Man Utd’s Kobie Mainoo, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba of Arsenal and Spursl left-back Destiny Udogie.

The Premier League have had this to say on the Swede following his nomination: ‘The Swedish forward is nominated for a second consecutive season after 21 goal involvements in only 27 matches. Isak, 24, is the first Newcastle player since Alan Shearer in 2002/03 to reach 20 goals in a Premier League season, while his minutes-per-goal rate of 101.3 is second only to Haaland’s 91.8 among players with more than two goals.’
