David is widely expected to head to England this summer, with Newcastle preparing an offer. Eddie Howe’s side is looking to sign a new striker regardless of Isak’s future, as Callum Wilson is set to depart.

Former Manchester United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that the 25-year-old will have no shortage of options, including Newcastle.

“I remember when David first came onto the scene,” Brown told Football Insider. “He was very highly regarded, and still is, but people were talking about him like he was a world-beater.

“He’s gone a bit quiet since then in terms of transfer interest, he’s gone under the radar. But a lot of clubs have been keeping a close eye on him and if he’s going to be available for free, I think they’ll all be presenting offers for him.

“It looks like he’ll finally make that move to the Premier League because there is a lot of interest. The likes of Newcastle, or any club looking for a striker, will be involved. If Wilson is leaving, they need to replace him.

“We know they want to keep Isak but they can’t rely only on him. Ultimately it will be up to the player, he’s going to have to make a decision at the end of the year about where he sees his future and what he thinks is the best offer.“
