## Club career
### ÍA

Having been born outside of Iceland, while his father Jóhannes Karl Guðjónsson was playing for Aston Villa, Ísak started his career with local family club ÍA in Akranes in Iceland. In 2017 he went on trial with both Ajax and Brighton & Hove Albion. In 2018, he played his first senior game with ÍA, aged 15, in the Icelandic second tier, with his father managing ÍA at the time. Later that year, he agreed a move to IFK Norrköping in Sweden, though the transfer didn't go through until 2019.

### IFK Norrköping

Ísak made his Norrköping debut in the Swedish Cup on 21 August 2019, starting and scoring against IFK Timrå. He made his Allsvenskan debut on 26 September 2019, aged 16, coming on as a substitute against AFC Eskilstuna. Before the Swedish 2020 season, he was named the most promising player in the league. He was in the starting line-up for Norrköping for most of the season. In October 2020, he was named one of the 60 most promising players in the world, born in 2003, by British paper The Guardian.

### Copenhagen

On 1 September 2021, Ísak joined Danish Superliga club Copenhagen on a deal until June 2026.

### Fortuna Düsseldorf

On 9 August 2023, Ísak joined 2. Bundesliga club Fortuna Düsseldorf on loan until the end of the 2023–24 season.
After a good season in which Ísak recorded seven goals and nine assists in 37 games for Düsseldorf, the club confirmed on 14 June 2024 that they had triggered his buyout clause - around €2 million according to media reports. According to media reports, Ísak signed a contract until June 2029.

## International career

Ísak has featured for Iceland at under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-21 level. In November 2020 he was called up to the senior squad for UEFA Nations League match against England. He made his debut in that match at the age of 17 years and 240 days, becoming the fifth youngest player to debut for the Icelandic national team. He only became the third youngest player from Akranes to debut for the national team, as Akranes is the home town of four of the six youngest players to debut for the national team.
