As documented by the German club's "?official website, the teenager joined his teammates on the club's training ground on Wednesday morning amidst somewhat of a media frenzy.

The emerging Isak has been dubbed by some as the "next Zlatan Ibrahimovic" which is quite the indicator of his huge potential.

Manager Thomas Tuchel said: "It's a pleasure to have him here, and I am glad he has got his first training session under his belt. I'm sure he's feeling much better now than before.

"He is a very strong centre-forward who also plays a good passing game and gets goals. He can also play with his back to goal. The transfer makes total sense and allows the club to plan with certainty going into the long-term future."

Isak, who recently became his country's youngest ever goalscorer, bagged two goals in the training session and made a good all round impression in front of his new teammates.

The 17-year-old, who stands at 6ft 3in tall, was signed by Dortmund from Swedish club AIK, after initially looking most likely to sign for Spanish giants Real Madrid.

But having seen the limited opportunities made available to fellow Scandinavian youngster Martin Odegaard, Isak chose not to make the move the Bernabeu, instead choosing Dortmund - a club with a strong reputation for developing young talents.
