Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has backed record signing Alexander Isak to become a club legend.

The Swedish forward scored an excellent goal in a 3-2 loss to Manchester City at the weekend.

Isak's smartly taken strike had given the Magpies parity, which they scarcely deserved at the time.

Howe told reporters post-game: The goal was very reminiscent of Alan [Shearer - club legend], really, the finish that he delivered.

He can go on, I think, to achieve incredible things in his career. He's got so much more to offer.

He's probably getting back to 100 per cent fit - I wouldn't say he's totally there yet. He's had his own injury troubles this season, but the last two performances and the goals that he's scored offers a glimpse, really, of his capabilities.

He is really the all-round striker, in my opinion."
