Arsenal they are supposedly interested in signing Newcastle UnitedEdit Striker Alexander Isak, according to Caught offside.
The 25-year-old enjoyed a productive campaign in the first division Last season, he scored 21 goals and recorded two assists in 27 starts. He's had a slow start this season but the striker has stepped up in the big games for the Tyneside club so far, getting his name on the scoresheet against Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Liverpool.
The Swedish international helped his team beat the two north London clubs, as he helped his team earn a point against league leaders Liverpool, scoring and assisting a goal. In 12 league games, he has contributed eight goals this season.
Additionally, the former Real Sociedad star has demonstrated his scoring prowess for his country in recent months, scoring four goals and providing one assist in four Nations League games.
Now, Caught offside They claim Arsenal are looking to strengthen the centre-forward department by signing a new prolific goalscorer and have earmarked Isak as a key target.
Isak to Arsenal
The Gunners are not the only club interested in Isak, as Chelsea have also expressed interest in signing him after being impressed by his eye-catching recent performances.
However, the report says buying the striker won't be easy for Arsenal or any other club, with Newcastle putting a massive £83m price tag on his head.
The Gunners may struggle to agree a deal if the Magpies do not reduce their asking price. Isak is still under contract until 2028 with Eddie Howe's team so they are in no rush to lower his valuation anytime soon.
Arsenal have been in the title race in recent campaigns but have found it difficult to go all the way and win the Premier League title. It has been widely suggested that they lack qualities in their number nine position and if they strengthen this area their chances of winning the league will increase.
Isak is a highly talented player and a proven striker in the Premier League, so it would be a huge coup for Arsenal if they manage to secure his services next year.
