Alexander Isak has already shown exactly why Newcastle paid a club-record £60million to sign him.
The striker scored a debut goal at Anfield in a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool, but there were plenty of flashes at just how good he can be.
Isak impressed on his Premier League debut
The 22-year-old was a highly-coveted talent at Real Sociedad, who caught the eye during Euro 2020 last summer.
Arsenal and Manchester United had been linked with a move for the striker over previous windows, but it was the Magpies who were able to finally get him to the Premier League.
Isak already looks like he will be right at home in English football.
And former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy believes Newcastle will see a good return on their investment.
He told talkSPORT: "He's still got a bit of growing to do, there's still going to be that expectancy to put a bit of bulk on his upper body.
"He's so quick, you saw his footwork tonight. This kid could be as good as he wants to be, I genuinely believe that.
Isak cost Newcastle £60m, but that value could skyrocket
"He had a bit of a strange season last year at Sociedad. There were a lot of teams sniffing around him after the Euros last year.
"That's where he really did catch the eye. I've followed his career and he had a bad season last year.
"His numbers weren't great, but he will be a sound investment.
"We saw last night what this kid is capable of. Newcastle have got a really good player. There will be bids coming in.
"I think in years to come he will be worth £100m."
