According to reports, Premier League sensation Alexander Isak has caught the attention of top clubs Arsenal and Liverpool. However, the Newcastle star has dismissed these rumors and claims that the speculated £150 million price tag doesn't bother him too much.
The 25-year-old forward has been on fire this season, scoring 12 goals and providing four assists in just 17 games for his team. In their recent match against Manchester United, Isak opened the scoring with a header in the fourth minute, helping his team secure a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford. Although he missed a chance to add to his tally, with his shot ending up in the goalkeeper's arms, Isak also had a goal disallowed for being offside in the first half.
This win against United is only the second time in almost 50 years that Newcastle has managed to beat them at their home ground, and Isak couldn't be happier. Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, the Swedish striker said that it was a great performance from his team and the perfect way to end the year for them.
"Our intensity was really good. We started off the game really well, pressing high and counter-attacking," Isak said. "Our challenge was to maintain the same level of intensity, whether we were playing at home or away. And I think we did that, especially in the first half. We could have even scored more goals."
When asked if the team was confident going into the game against United, Isak replied, "I think so, yeah. We've been performing much better lately, even when playing away from home. Our goal for the season has always been to maintain the same intensity, whether we're playing at home or away. And in the last few weeks, we've been able to do that, which is great to see."
Despite his impressive form, Isak's future at Newcastle remains uncertain, with reports claiming that the club is demanding a staggering £150 million for him. However, Isak seems unfazed by these rumors, stating that his focus is solely on his team and their performance on the field.
"No, it doesn't really bother me too much. I think that's more for you guys and the fans to talk about," Isak said when asked about the reported price tag. "I'm in the middle of the season, and things are going really well for both me and the team. So my focus is here, and I'm really happy with how things are going."
It's clear that Isak is determined to continue his impressive form and help his team achieve their goals, regardless of the speculations surrounding his future. And with his consistent performances both at home and away, it's no surprise that he has caught the eye of top clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool. Only time will tell if he will make a move, but for now, Isak's focus remains on Newcastle and their journey in the Premier League.
