Alexander Isak - My Ballon d'Or prediction in black and white NUFC
The modern game has quite literally thrown up a dearth of talent when it comes to out and out centre forwards. From false nines to prolific wide men, where are the Shearers and the Vans, be it of the Persie or the Nistelrooy persuasion? In the relatively short time I’ve been a paying customer at St James’ Park, I have seen Wayne Rooney, Didier Drogba, Sergio Aguero, Luis Suarez and Olivier Giroud plying their trade up top, but hit men like these are becoming a rarity.
However, when you look at the elite teams from across the planet, you keep on drawing a blank. Brazil, Italy, Portugal, Germany and perhaps even Argentina don’t have a recognised out and out hit man in their squad. No wonder Man United kept having to play Weghorst last season and are no closer to signing an out and out world class striker.That brings me onto Alexander Isak. He has got the lot. Tidy with both feet and excellent on the ball, with close control last seen when Thierry Henry was gracing the Premier League .As for his finishing, remember both those goals he scored at Anfield and that the pair atAlexander Isak is also playing for a club that harbours ambitions to lift major honours in the next few years.are serious contenders. And here’s my prediction. Alexander Isak will be the first Ballon d’Or winner wearing the famous black and white stripes, before he turns 29.
