Alexander Isak kept it short but meaningful as he addressed Newcastle fans following their Carabao Cup triumph over Liverpool.
Newcastle ended a 70-year wait for a major trophy with a hard-fought 2-1 victory at Wembley on 16 March, securing a historic night for Eddie Howe’s side.

Dan Burn, who earned his first England call-up just a few days earlier, made it a week to remember as he powered home a header to put the Magpies ahead.
Isak then doubled the lead just moments after seeing an earlier goal ruled out, sending the Newcastle supporters into celebration.
Federico Chiesa pulled one back late on, but it wasn’t enough to stop Newcastle from claiming their first major trophy since 1955.
Isak has been linked to a move to Liverpool himself, but on the night, he showed exactly why he’s one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers, before turning his focus to celebrating with the Newcastle fans.

Newcastle weigh up Alexander Isak future amid transfer interest
The Swede kept it simple with his message to Newcastle fans, posting “History” alongside a photo of his goal celebration. Bruno Guimaraes left a message to say “Te amo” whilst Anthony Gordon simply said “Top” in response to the post.
His performance in the Carabao Cup final only reinforced why so many top clubs are monitoring his situation. Arsenal have made Isak their priority signing for the summer, while Liverpool remain interested. If the 25-year-old were to move on, there would be no shortage of suitors lining up for his signature.
However, Newcastle are in a strong position to secure Isak’s future as the club are keen to offer him a new contract and will push to convince him of their long-term vision under Howe, despite growing speculation.
The striker has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 23 goals across all competitions, including 19 in the Premier League, while also providing five assists.

Newcastle identify Hugo Ekitike amid Alexander Isak uncertainty
Regardless of whether Isak stays or leaves, Newcastle are expected to be in the market for a striker this summer, with Callum Wilson set to depart when his contract expires.
One name on their radar is Hugo Ekitike of Frankfurt, a player they have previously attempted to sign. Newcastle remain admirers of Ekitike and could reignite their interest as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
Despite the transfer talk, Isak has remained fully focused on his football, continuing to deliver standout performances and cementing his place in Newcastle’s history.
