Arsenal are preparing their artillery for the summer market and Newcastle United star Alexander Isak stands out among their targets. According to reports from Football Insider, the London club are looking to strengthen their attack ahead of next season, with the 24-year-old Swedish striker one of their best options.
The Gunners have been keeping an eye on Isak for some time, even before he moved to Newcastle for a record £63million in 2022. Since arriving at the Magpies, Isak has proven his worth in the Premier League, adapting with ease and scoring a total of 16 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions this season.
Arsenal are interested in Newcastle’s Alexander Isak
Despite Newcastle not having their best season, Isak’s performance has caught the attention of several clubs, including Arsenal, who remain interested in him despite losing the race to sign him in the past. Given the need to strengthen their offensive line, the Gunners see Isak as an ideal candidate to improve their game and compete at the highest level.
Coach Mikel Arteta has made no secret of his desire to sign a world-class striker who can make a difference in his team. Isak’s goalscoring prowess makes him a priority target for Arsenal, who are planning a summer full of major changes in the transfer market.
Although Isak still has more than four years left on his contract at Newcastle, the financial pressure on the Magpies could open the door to his departure next season. Given the need to comply with Premier League financial rules, selling Isak would be a solution for the north-east England team as Arsenal continue to closely monitor the talented Swedish striker’s situation. Although there are no concrete approaches yet, Arsenal’s interest in Isak is obvious and could be a decisive factor in future negotiations.
