Arsenal have been linked with a move for 25-year-old Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, who will cost around £100 million.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Alexander Isak is a dream target for Arsenal, and the North Londoners are hoping to get the deal done for the Newcastle United striker. However, a move in the January transfer window is improbable.
The striker is valued at £100 million, and it will be interesting to see if Arsenal are prepared to break the bank for him. They paid a similar amount of money for Declan Rice, and there is no doubt that they have the financial muscle to get the deal done.
Alexander Isak has established himself as one of the best strikers in the country, and there is no doubt that he would improve Arsenal. The Swede is certainly good enough to play for the biggest clubs in the country, and the opportunity to play for Arsenal will be quite attractive for him.
The Gunners will be able to provide him with UEFA Champions League football and the platform to push for the Premier League title as well. The Swedish international has already proven his quality in England with Newcastle United and he could look to make a step up in his career now.
This would be the right time for him to join a bigger club with more ambitions. However, Newcastle United will be desperate to challenge for trophies as well, and they will not want to lose one of their best players. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Isak might fancy a new challenge
The Swedish international striker is at the peak of his powers, and he scored 25 goals in all competitions last season. He could transform Arsenal in the final third. The Gunners currently have Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz at their disposal, and both players have struggled to score goals consistently. Alexander Isak would be a major upgrade on them.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can convince Newcastle United to sell the player in the coming months. The Magpies are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they do not need to sell players for money. The Swede might have to push for an exit for Newcastle to consider a sale. They will not want to hold on to an unhappy player, and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
