Arsenal are interested in acquiring the services of 24-year-old Newcastle United star Alexander Isak in the summer.
According to a report by Football Insider, Arsenal are keen on bolstering their attack ahead of next season. The Gunners want to sign a world-class striker ahead of next season and Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak is one of their targets.
Isak has been on the North London club’s radar for a long while. They wanted to sign him before he made the move to Newcastle United in 2022 for a deal worth £63 million.
Isak’s time at Newcastle United
The Swedish international has gone from strength to strength since making the move to the Magpies. He has adjusted to live in the Premier League without much trouble and has been key to their success in the recent past.
While Newcastle are not really enjoying the best of seasons, the 24-year-old still has 16 goals in his 30 appearances in all competitions. His impressive performances have attracted a lot of interest and Arsenal are a club that remains interested in him despite having lost the race back in 2022.
The Gunners are planning for a big summer. They are looking to offload a few of their players to ensure they have the budget to land the majority of their targets. Their priority is to have a new number nine who can guarantee goals.
Arsenal interested in Isak
Mikel Arteta is not happy with the output of his strikers and wants to sign someone who can take his attack to the next level. A striker who can help them compete with the best. They feel Isak is someone who can help them in the short as well as long term. As a result, they are considering making a move in the summer.
While Isak is a very important player at Newcastle and still has over four years left on his deal, there could still be a possibility of him making a move in the off-season. The Magpies have spent big in the recent windows and they are under pressure to offload one of their stars to ensure they abide by the Premier League’s financial rules.
Isak is one of their biggest stars and his departure will surely help them cope with the financial pressure. The Gunners haven’t approached Newcastle yet but they do hold a concrete interest in the 24-year-old.
