Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent months, but the Magpies want a renewal.
According to a report by Football Insider, Newcastle United are now well-positioned to offer Alexander Isak a new contract. The 25-year-old has been exceptional for the Magpies in the Premier League since joining the Tyneside club, and he is one of the best strikers in the world right now.
The Swede has been in exceptional form this season as well, and Newcastle United must do everything in their power to keep him at the club for as long as possible. The 25-year-old has scored 19 goals in all competitions, and it is no surprise that clubs like Arsenal are keen on him.
Arsenal need to sign a quality striker if they want to win major trophies. Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz have been quite inefficient in front of goal, and Isak would be a huge upgrade. So, it is hardly surprising that the Newcastle United star has emerged as a top target.
The Swedish international could be attracted to the idea of joining one of the biggest clubs in the world, and it remains to be seen whether Arsenal try and tempt him with an offer in the summer.
Newcastle United must keep their best players
Newcastle United will be hoping to secure UEFA Champions League qualification for the next season, and they will want to fight for trophies regularly. The Magpies need to hold on to their best players, and Isak is certainly an indispensable asset for them.
The Tyneside outfit are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they are under no pressure to sell key players. They will not want to lose the 25-year-old anytime soon. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
The Swedish striker is entering his peak years, and he will want to compete at the highest level. He will want to win league titles and UEFA Champions League trophies. Arsenal might be able to provide him with that platform. Although Newcastle United have shown tremendous growth in recent seasons, they are not quite at that level yet.
It will be interesting to see if they can convince the player of their ambitions and get him to commit his long-term future to the club. The Swede is already valued at a premium, and if he signs a long-term deal with Newcastle, a summer exit can be effectively ruled out.
