The player dubbed next Zlatan Ibrahimovic has a long list admirers from across Europe; the likes of Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea, Besiktas, Liverpool, Trabzonspor, Sunderland and Villarreal have all had the player watched in recent times.
Both Dutch clubs have a good record of developing young players and that could sway the player’s decision in their favour. Zlatan himself honed his skills at the Amsterdam Arena before moving on to Serie A with Juventus.
The Frisians will also be helped by the fact that they have a couple of young Swedish players in their ranks who could influence Isak’s decision.
The Swedish youth international has scored nine league goals for his team in 20 league games.
