And the fact the Toon have moved so quickly for Sweden’s Isak suggests the prognosis on Wilson might not be too healthy, or indeed that they are just keen to have cover and competition for the English striker.
Isak, who scored against Barcelona last Sunday in La Liga, came up through the ranks at AIK in Stockholm before securing a move to Borussia Dortmund in 2017.
He stayed there for two years – including a loan spell at Dutch outfit Willem II – before Sociedad snapped him up for £13.5m in the summer of 2019.
While in the Basque Country, Isak made 132 total appearances for the club, scoring 44 goals.
He has been capped at U-17, U-19 and U-21 level for Sweden, and has gone on to make 37 appearances for the senior side, with nine goals.
If the deal goes through, it would be a club-record signing for Newcastle, eclipsing the £39.6m they paid for Joelinton in 2019.
