Newcastle United eyeing Gabriel Jesus as Alexander Isak replacement

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has been linked with many clubs in recent weeks, the Magpies want Gabriel Jesus as his replacement.

According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Newcastle United are already looking at potential replacements for Alexander Isak, and they have identified the Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus as an option to replace the Swedish international.

Arsenal value the Brazilian international at €65 million. The former Manchester City striker has not been able to perform at a high level for Arsenal, and he has struggled to score goals consistently. He would be an underwhelming addition to the Newcastle United attack.

Isak has been exceptional for Newcastle since joining the club, and he has scored goals consistently in the Premier League. The Swede managed to find the back of the net 25 times across all competitions last season, and he recently scored the winning goal against Arsenal as well. There is no doubt that he is a top-class player, and he is entering his peak years.

Replacing Isak will be a tricky job

Isak is likely to improve further when he is playing in a better team alongside better players. Replacing him with Gabriel Jesus is likely to weaken the Newcastle United attack. They must identify a more reliable goalscorer if they want to replace the 25-year-old Swedish international upcoming months.

It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to provide us with an exit route in the near future. He has been linked with multiple clubs, including Arsenal, and it is hardly a surprise. Isak is undoubtedly one of the best strikers in the league right now, and top clubs will want to secure his services. The striker could be tempted to join a big club as well.

Isak has proven himself with Newcastle United, and he will look to compete at a higher level now. He might be keen on joining a club capable of winning major trophies. It remains to be seen where he ends up eventually. Newcastle should do everything in their power to hold onto a player like him if they want to push for trophies in the coming seasons.
