Fan points out Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak's accent isn't perhaps what you'd expect

A clip has shown the Sweden international speaking to Jamaal Lascelles and he sounds rather English

Alexander Isak has been a success story after joining Newcastle United last summer and is poised to play in the Champions League this season.

Sweden international Isak joined the Magpies from Real Sociedad for a reported club-record £63m fee and scored 10 goals in his first season at St James' Park, playing his part in helping the club secure a return to Europe's top club competition.

The 23-year-old already has a couple of goals to his name this season in his second campaign at the club as Newcastle will be aiming to progress further from last season's positivity and upon their return to the Champions League.

Being Swedish and being born and bred around Stockholm, you probably would not expect the striker to have an accent that resembles anything remotely English and bit a lot more Scandinavian - but yet, he seems to have exactly that of the country where he now plies his trade.

A clip has emerged on X, formerly known as Twitter, showing Isak in conversation with teammates Jamaal Lascelles and Jacob Murphy and the Sweden international speaks with a distinctly English tone to his voice.

And fans have been quick to note just how English the striker does sound, with many pointing out that he sounds like a Londoner.
