Newcastle striker Alexander Isak has welcomed comparisons with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

The Swede made a major impact for the Champions League qualifiers, despite an injury-plagued campaign.

He told The Times: Henry's the player I admired growing up, so I can't complain. I enjoyed that one. They know me in England better now."

Isak added: "Yes, if you had asked me before, I'd have been surprised to play in the Champions League. But once I saw how the team played and the quality of the squad, I knew it wasn't just good form.

"We've shown we can compete with the big teams, so I don't think we should put any limits on ourselves next season. We can compete to win something because we've taken a lot of steps in a short space of time."
