According to Sky Sports pundit Tim Sherwood, he believes that he would prefer to have Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor in his starting lineup over Newcastle United’s summer signing Nick Woltemade, despite the latter’s hefty price tag.
Isidor has made a strong impression in the Premier League, scoring three goals already, including a crucial equalizer in a recent match against Aston Villa. On the other hand, Woltemade scored on his debut for Newcastle but struggled to make an impact in subsequent matches.
Sherwood praised Isidor, expressing his admiration for the player’s abilities and his success in transitioning from the Championship to the Premier League. He emphasized Isidor’s current form and performance, stating that he would choose him over Woltemade to win a game.
In discussing Sunderland’s recent match against Aston Villa, Sherwood commended the team’s effort, particularly noting Granit Xhaka’s impact on the squad. He highlighted Xhaka’s crucial pass to Isidor for the equalizing goal, praising the player’s leadership and influence on the team. Sherwood described Xhaka as a significant signing for Sunderland, contributing to their strong performance and unity.
