Borussia Dortmund have beaten Real Madrid to the signing of Swedish sensation Alexander Isak at £8.6million.

The 17-year-old striker sealed the move to the Bundesliga giants, despite interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Los Blancos were all ready to land the 17-year-old last week, and prepared a five-year deal for the AIK striker.

However with only his signature left to seal the deal, Isak grew uncertain over whether a move to the Spanish capital was the best move for his career.

And that allowed Dortmund to pounce, and add Isak to the growing list of emerging young talents at the Westfalenstadion.

Isak signed on the dotted line alongside BVB general manager Michael Zorc, after arriving in Dortmund on Sunday for final talks and a look around the club’s facilities.

He joins a clutch of highly-rated young players now under Thomas Tuchel's tutelage, including Ousmane Dembele, Christian Pulisic, Emre Mor and Julian Weigl.

Isak also made his senior international debut last week and scored - becoming the youngest goalscorer in the history of the Blagult.

Isak has been widely-hailed as his country’s biggest talent since Zlatan, after making his breakthrough in the Allsvenskan last year at the age of 16.
