Alexander Isak's 'home targeted by burglars

Alexander Isak's home was reportedly broken into before Newcastle's clash with Fulham.

The Swede played 90 minutes on Saturday as Eddie Howe's side secured three points at Craven Cottage courtesy of a late goal from Bruno Guimaraes.

According to a report from The Sun, just days earlier a gang had targeted Isak's house in Northumberland with a gang breaking in at around 10pm on Thursday evening.

It is not known whether the 24-year-old or his family were present at the residence during the time of the break-in or if any possessions were taken from inside the home.

Police are said to have confirmed that a vehicle was stolen from the property before being found abandoned in nearby Dissington.

The incident marks the latest example of Premier League footballers being targeted by burglars in recent months.

In January Isak's Newcastle teammate Joelinton had his Darras Hall home burgled while he and his family were at St James' Park to watch the club's 3-2 defeat by Manchester City.

Officers responded and a police helicopter was dispatched but the intruders had fled the scene and remain at large.

Jack Grealish was also targeted by burglars over the Christmas period just days after moving into a £5.6million mansion in Cheshire.

The midfielder's fiancee Sasha Attwood, was with his family watching Grealish play in City's 3-1 win over Everton at their home and hit a panic button when the burglars struck.

Police rushed to the scene fearing a potential hostage situation but the offenders were able to escape with £1m worth of jewellery.
