Slot said: "Still he needs to get stronger but he has already become stronger."I don't think he changed a lot in all his offensive qualities. He's fast, he can score a goal, he has great footwork, he's got dribbling skills.

He has so much in his locker, I think that's the way you say it here."I think he's adjusted to the Premier League now. Now he has to not only adjust but make sure, with his physique, how fast he is.

He can become also physically outstanding, and that's where he's working really hard."By the way, in the last three, four minutes, he was very, very, very tired in the Tottenham game as well. Isak's leg became trapped between both of Van de Ven's and twisted severely.When questioned whether any disciplinary action should have followed, Slot was swift to condemn Van de Ven for what he described as a "reckless" challenge on his club-record £120million striker."It was a reckless challenge," stated Slot.
