Alexander Isak emerged as the winner coming off as the player with the highest number of votes among the eight players who were nominated for the Premier League player of the month. He has been fantastic for the Magpies in all the games that they played in December, having scored eight goals in the six games that he played.
The Swedish international was the Premier League’s top scorer in December, finding the net in all six of his appearances as Newcastle won four matches, drew one and lost only once to join the race for a top-four finish. Isak’s goals included a hat-trick against Ipswich Town, while he also scored against Liverpool, Brentford, Leicester City, Aston Villa and Manchester United.
