'Im not sure he's worth the money' Stuart Pearce voices concerns over the fee for Alexander Isak

Former Newcastle United defender Stuart Pearce has said he's not convinced that Alexander Isak is worth the £60million the club are set to pay for the Swedish international.

The Magpies are close to completing a deal for the Real Sociedad striker in a transfer that would eclipse the £40million club record fee they paid for Joelinton in 2019 and Bruno Guimaraes this past January.

However, talking on talkSPORT, Pearce - who left West Ham's coaching staff at the end of last season - says he isn't convinced by the outlay Newcastle are spending on a player he's scouted previously and describes as an 'ok' signing.
