Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has been linked with a move to Arsenal ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Alexander Isak is open to a move to Arsenal in the summer transfer window, and that will come as a major boost for the North London outfit. The 25-year-old Swedish international has been the best striker in the Premier League this season, and he has 28 goal contributions in all competitions. He could transform Arsenal in the final third.
Arsenal have struggled in the final third this season, and they need to bring in a reliable finisher in the summer. They have not been able to win the Premier League title despite coming close in the last two seasons. The Gunners are likely to miss out this term as well.
Signing a reliable centre-forward could finally help them get over the line. Alexander Isak will feel that he has proven himself at Newcastle United and he needs to take the next step in his development. He will want to join a club capable of fighting for major trophies. So, Arsenal would be an attractive destination.
Signing Isak will not be easy
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can secure an agreement with Newcastle United. The Magpies will not want to sell their best player easily if at all, and they are likely to demand a substantial amount of money. Arsenal might have to break their transfer record to get the deal done.
The player has 28 goal contributions this season, and he would be a major upgrade on Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz. The Swede could complete the Arsenal attacking unit alongside Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. With players like Martin Odegaard creating chances behind him, Isak could take his game to another level if he joins a big club.
The striker is entering the peak years of his career, and this is the right time for him to join one of the biggest clubs in the world. The Newcastle United talisman has been linked with Liverpool as well, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually.
