Alexander Isak impressed during his appearances for Sweden at the European Championship.

The Real Sociedad striker caught the eye in his four outings in the competition, which saw Sweden eliminated in the round of 16.

Janne Andersson's side avoided defeat in the group stage of Euro 2020, where a return of seven points from a possible nine saw them advance in top spot.

However, the 21-year-old's all-round performances were bright and he has undoubtedly enhanced his reputation over the last few weeks.

Indeed, it was no surprise to see Real Sociedad move quickly to tie the forward down to a new five-year deal following Sweden's exit.

Isak's displays at Euro 2020 were praised by, among others, former England striker Gary Lineker.

"Don’t think there’s much doubt that Alexander Isak will attract a lot of attention from clubs across Europe. Exceptional talent," Lineker wrote on Twitter.

The BBC presenter's compliment was put to the young Swede, whose response attracted much mirth.

"I am not that aware of him. It’s an old player working in the studio?" Isak said. "I wasn’t born then [when Lineker won the Golden Boot at the 1986 World Cup] but I have a little bit of knowledge about him."

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
