Isak started playing football at AIK Solna at the age of six . He made his professional debut at the age of 16 on February 28, 2016 in a 6-0 win in the cup match against fourth division club Tenhults IF , where he also scored his first goal in the senior division with the goal in the 86th minute. On April 7, 2016 (2nd matchday), coach Andreas Alm helped him make his debut in the Allsvenskan , the top division in Sweden. In the 2-0 win in the away game against Östersunds FK , he was the club's youngest goalscorer to score the goal in the 50th minute.

For the second half of the 2016/17 Bundesliga season , Isak moved to the German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund . He made his competitive debut for BVB on March 14, 2017 in the quarter-final of the DFB Cup against Sportfreunde Lotte (3-0) when he came on for Gonzalo Castro in the 86th minute . Then Isak was in the second team in the fourth-class Regionalliga West and in the A-Youth (U-19) in the A-Junior Bundesliga , with which he won the championship title.

After the striker had not been used in any competition in the 2018/19 season, he was loaned to Willem II Tilburg in January 2019 in the Dutch Eredivisie . On February 28, 2019, he scored 1-1 in the semifinals of the Dutch Cup against AZ Alkmaar and finally scored the decisive goal on penalties. As the first player in the top Dutch league, Isak managed to score three goals from a penalty on March 30, 2019 in Tilburg's 3-2 home win against Fortuna Sittard . Isak finished the season with the Brabantern in 10th place and scored 13 times in 16 league games. In the cup , Isak and Tilburg made it into the final, which Ajax Amsterdam won 4-0.

For the 2019/20 season , Isak did not return to Dortmund, but switched to the Spanish first division club Real Sociedad San Sebastián , with whom he received a contract that ran until June 30, 2024.

National team

Isak made his debut in the national jersey on April 27, 2015 in Minsk in the 3-0 win of the Swedish U17s against Lithuania , where he scored his first international goal with the 2-0 goal in the 52nd minute . On January 8, 2017, he played his first international match in the senior team in a 2-1 draw against Ivory Coast ; he was also used four days later in the 6-0 win against Slovakia and scored his first goal. At 17 years and 113 days, Isak undercut the 104-year-old record as the national team's youngest goalscorer, which Eric Dahlström had previously held at 18 years and one day.
