The Sweden forward won over many observers with a scintillating showing against Slovakia on Friday
Of all of the African-origin players competing at the 2020 European Championships, perhaps none has caught the eye quite like Sweden’s Alexander Isak.
Admittedly, Paul Pogba was excellent against Germany, Nelson Semedo gave Portugal another dimension against Hungary, and Romelu Lukaku dispatched Russia emphatically, but Isak has arguably outshone them all.
The striker, who is of Eritrean origin, was in magnificent form on Friday as Sweden dispatched Slovakia 1-0 to boost their prospects of reaching the knockout stages of the European Championships.
