Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has been nominated for both the Premier League Young Player of the Season and Player of the Season awards following a fantastic campaign.

The 24-year-old gets his second nomination in as many seasons in the league after he lined up with fellow Magpie Sven Botman in last season's awards.

The Swedish international has been in fine form this season becoming the first person since Alan Shearer to score 20 league goals in a season for Newcastle.

His fine form is due to be rewarded as well with reports suggesting he is close to agreeing on a new deal at the club.

Isak is in white hot form for Newcastle

Isak's league form has been some of the best we have seen in years. In 27 games he has netted on 20 occasions and grabbed himself an assist along the way.

At 24, the sky is surely the limit for Isak who has netted 10 times since February.

The Swede is the only Newcastle player nominated both awards.

Shortlisted alongside him for the Senior Player of the Season are: Phil Foden and Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard, Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Virgil Van Dijk and Ollie Watkins.

The eight-man shortlist for Young Player of the Season are Manchester City duo Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, Arsenal pair Bukayo Saka and William Saliba, Chelsea's Cole Palmer, Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo and Destiny Udogie of Tottenham Hotspur.
