"The 24-year-old striker has been in blistering form for the Magpies during the 2023/24 campaign, with the Swedish frontman scoring 20 goals in 27 English top-flight outings and has netted ten times in as many matches since recovering from a groin injury in February.
"Isak, who was nominated for the award last term after an impressive maiden campaign at St. James' Park since joining from Real Sociedad, features on an eight-man shortlist which includes Manchester City pair Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and William Saliba, Cole Palmer of Chelsea, Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo and Destiny Udogie of Tottenham Hotspur."
Haaland won it last season after helping Man City to the Premier League title in his first season since arriving from Dortmund. Fans can vote here for Isak to win the coveted title this time around.
Isak is joined in the Player of the Year shortlist by Haaland, Foden and Palmer, with Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, Virgil van Dijk and Oliie Watkins making the final eigh.
