Born and raised in Solna, Sweden, Isak started his professional career with boyhood club AIK in 2016 and then represented Borussia Dortmund and Willem II before signing with Real Sociedad in 2019. In 2022, he signed with Newcastle United for a club record fee.

Isak was born to Eritrean parents and raised in Solna Municipality, in central Stockholm County. He started playing for the youth team of one of the largest clubs in the area, the Allsvenskan team he supports, AIK, at age six.
Isak made his first-team debut for AIK on 28 February 2016, appearing as a substitute in the 75th minute of the Swedish Cup away match against fourth-tier side Tenhults IF. At age 16, Isak scored a goal in the 6–0 victory.
On 7 April 2016, AIK head coach Andreas Alm included Isak in the starting lineup on matchday 2 of the Allsvenskan in an away fixture against Östersunds FK, alongside fellow young striker Carlos Strandberg. He secured the victory for his side, scoring the second goal in a 2–0 win, thus becoming the youngest scorer for AIK in Allsvenskan history at the age of 16 years and 199 days.
