Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak is the latest Premier League footballer whose house has been targeted by a group of professional robbers. The gang are thought to have gained entry to the four-bedroom property through rear patio doors just 48 hours before his side earned a crucial 1-0 victory in London at Fulham’s Craven Cottage stadium.
It is yet known if anything was stolen from Isak’s house although police understand that a car was stolen and abandoned three miles away. The Swedish international, who has been in fine form this season, is just one of a number of footballers to have had his property raided by a group, who identify themselves as the ‘away day gangs’.
