Alexander Isak may only be 17 but he has already learned one important lesson: "You never know what will happen in football." The past five days are a case in point.
As Sweden's newest striking sensation was speaking to Fotbollskanalens podcast Lundh last week, it was widely believed that the AIK Solna starlet was ready shun interest from the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea in favour of joining Real Madrid.
Certainly, los Blancos believed it was a done deal, having been in contact with Isak and his representatives since last year. However, then Borussia Dortmund managed to persuade the Swedish starlet that he would have more opportunities to flourish at Signal Idunda Park than the Santiago Bernabeu.
It was a compelling argument. BVB have both developed and signed a plethora of talented youngsters over the past few years, such as Mario Gotze, Julian Weigl, Christian Pulisic and Ousmane Dembele.
