AIK's technical director, Peter Wennberg, fondly remembers a touching gesture from Isak during his time in the under-17s, recalling: "He had to fill in an evaluation and made a point of thanking the kit managers.



We were there together for six months and when he came here to La Real I was really surprised.

"I was really happy to see him, and we could talk a lot about our time in Dortmund.

He can adapt to whatever you tell him.

"When he came here, he had to adapt to a very specific system of playing where he had a specific role to make an exact movement when the ball was in a certain position.

"Being from Sweden and being able to adapt showed how smart he is.

With his abilities, his speed and strength, the Premier League is a good place for him."

As his protracted move to Liverpool finally progressed, Isak was in contact with his national manager, former Premier League striker Jon Dahl Tomasson.

He's not able to play for 90 minutes but he can be a game-changer."
