Eri-International sports update on Alexander Isak's activities for the past month shows that this young man is for real. While on break from the Swedish Premier league, there has been a lot of speculation as to where he will end up in a trade. Alexander has been closely linked to many of Europe's top teams including Real Madrid, Chelsea, Bayern, Juventus, Paris St. Germain, Liverpool, Everton, Manchester City and many more. There are also many second level teams who have been attempting to get him by promising more playing time. His team AIK Stockholm is taking the value of his skills very seriously and have opted to wait before making an official trade. With the trade deadline coming to an end at the end of January, we shall wait and see which team will spend the most amount of money for Alexander.

Until recently Alexander had only played with the under 17 Swedish National team, however in early December while he was vacationing in Thailand with friends, he got a call from the Swedish National team coach that on January 3, 2017 the Senior national team will be travelling to to Abu Dhabi to play friendly games against Ivory Coast and Slovakia. Coach Janne Andersson was very excited to see him play as the young Eritrean-Swede had fully justified himself in his ability to perform on the field. He was an obvious choice even though he was very young. AIK Coach Rikard Norling confirmed that while he is still evolving as a player, he was ready to be a part of the national team.

Alexander makes his debut with the senior national Team of Sweden at age 17.

Alexander the great! Making strides and history at the same time. The Youngest player to ever score a goal in the history of the Swedish national Soccer team.

Eri-International Sports observed every move he made while he was in the game and it was clear that Alexander had the maturity of a more seasoned player. Challenging the Elephants of Ivory Coast a pretty strong team getting ready for the African nations cup, he was able to hang with the best of them. At age17 years and 109 days, Alexander became the second youngest player ever to wear the yellow and blue colors of Sweden in the 2-1 loss against Ivory Coast. While it would have been nice to see him wearing the Eritrean colors, he continues to be an inspiration to many young Eritreans, Swede and other youth.
