Sky Sports journalist Pete Graves has revealed that new signing Alexander Isak is 'in line' to make his debut for Newcastle United against Wolves in the Premier League this afternoon.

The Lowdown: Isak signs for Newcastle

The St James' Park outfit confirmed the signing of the Swedish striker from Real Sociedad on Friday for a reported club-record £63m fee.

He has signed a long-term deal in the northeast and will wear the number 14 shirt.

The Latest: Debut today?

Taking to Twitter, Graves has revealed that Isak is 'in line' to make his debut for the Magpies at Molineux this afternoon, as the necessary paperwork was submitted in time to meet the weekend deadline for them to register their players ahead of the match.

The Sky Sports reporter stated: "Understand Alexander Isak is in line to make his Newcastle United debut on Sunday. Although #nufc are still awaiting international clearance, @SkySportsNews has learned that necessary paperwork WAS submitted by the club in time to meet the weekend deadline."

The Verdict: Exciting

It is certainly exciting for the Toon Army to hear that Isak is able to make his Newcastle debut this afternoon, as they will be able to get a first glimpse of their new striker.

At Sociedad, he boasted a record of 44 goals in 132 games, while he also has nine senior goals for the Sweden national team (Transfermarkt).

Also, with Callum Wilson out injured at the moment, Isak should be able to come in to lead the line straight way, and it will now be up to Eddie Howe whether he plays him from the start against Wolves or uses him from the bench, with Chris Wood another option to start up top.
