Newcastle striker Isak laughs off Shearer claim

Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak has laughed off talk of ever breaking Alan Shearer's many goalscoring records.

The striker is enjoying his best season at the club since arriving from Real Sociedad.

Isak has scored 21 goals in all competitions this term, but has a way to go to reach the 22 that Shearer scored in the Premier League in 2003/2004.

He stated to reporters: "You guys in the media always find more records and statistics to be beaten, but I just play and do my best. It is obviously a nice thing to have."

Shearer also praised Isak recently, saying on Match of the Day 2: When you leave him space he is so dangerous. He is bright and alert and scores all types of goals. He just does not panic.

"If you are being really picky then obviously you would want him to be on the pitch more because he has had injuries. But what a talent and what a player. Simply superb."
