According team talk, Arsenal They have received a big boost in signing Newcastle UnitedEdit Striker Alexander Isak amid his reluctance to commit his future to the Magpies.
The Gunners were keen to sign a new striker last summer, but in the end they did not make any acquisitions. Isak was one of those who were in his transfer radar, but Newcastle had no plans to part ways with him.
However, they have now received a big boost according to team talk who claim that Isak wants to play consistently champions league American football. He doesn't believe the Magpies can achieve that goal.
Arsenal have drawn up a shortlist of 'world-class' forwards to strengthen the squad and Isak is the man they want most. With the Swede's contract only expiring in June 2028, he will still cost more than £100m.
Possible agreement
Isak has been injury prone in his Magpies career but has been effective on the field. The 25-year-old scored 25 goals in 40 appearances last season and also created plenty of chances for his teammates.
The Swede is good with his anchor play and has the ability to take on defenders with his superb dribbling skills. These are the qualities that would suit the coach's current style of play. Mikel Arteta.
The asking price should not be an obstacle for the Gunners, who have spent a similar amount to buy Declan Rice lately. The big question is whether the Magpies would accept his sale next summer.
Isak will still have 3 more years left on his contract and there is a possibility that they will retain him for one more season. A deal could depend on the striker pushing for an exit at the end of the campaign.
Arsenal will be hoping that happens as they are expected to spend heavily on a new marksman ahead of next season. If Isak is not available, they could turn their attention to RB Leipzig Benjamin Sesko.
