Alexander Isak (born 21 September 1999) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Newcastle United and the Sweden national team.
Parents and family
Alexander Isak’s parents are Mr. and Mrs.Teame Isak. He was born in the municipality of Solna, Sweden. He comes from a Christian family.
He is the family’s firstborn and has a younger brother.
Years earlier, his mum and dad left war-torn Eritrea in search of a better life.
His father, Teame, is a teacher and Alexander has always received a lot of love and support from his family.”
They emigrated to Solna, a suburb outside of Stockholm, where Isak was born.
It was there where the forward, who has been compared to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, was moulded into the promising youngster he is today – with Newcastle splashing out a club-record £63million to sign him this summer.
Family support
In the 1980s, his father, a teacher, hoped for a better future for his growing family. Instead, Eritrea endured a protracted civil war fought between rival organizations in order to liberate the country.
The player’s father and mother decided to leave their homeland and were warmly welcomed in Sweden. Alexander, who was born in 1999, began training with the AIK neighborhood team when he was six years old.
He met coach Nahom Ghidey, who was of Eritrean descent as well. They had a special bond, according to the coach, because we are both of Eritrean descent.
“His father, Teame, is a teacher,” Ghidey explained, “and Alexander has always received a lot of love and support from his family; Eritreans are proud, strong, and patriotic people, and that background was influential.”
Sened Teame, Alexander Isak’s younger brother, is an Eritrean born in Sweden. Although he usually prefers to stay away from the camera, we can assume he has been persuaded to pursue a career in football.Mr. and Mrs. Teame raised him in Solna Municipality, in central Stockholm County. Sened is the family’s second son and the youngest member.
