Former Barcelona assistant coach Henrik Larson recently accepted an interview with Flashscore, saying that he had recommended Isaac to Barcelona.
Henrik Larson served as a assistant to Ronald Koeman at Barcelona, and Isaac was still at Real Sociedad. Henrik Larson said: "I mentioned him to them when I was working at Barcelona. They asked me for a list of strikers. I recommended Isaac to them, and there was Lewandowski on the list."
Speaking of Isaac, Larson said: "I have no advice to him. He has been a genius since he was 15. Playing in Newcastle is not easy, and he has done a great job. Now he has gone to Liverpool, and that is only his next step."
