For quite some time, Arsenal has been keeping their eye on Alexander Isak. However, things have taken an interesting turn as Newcastle's contract negotiations with Isak have hit a roadblock. This has put Arsenal on high alert as the January transfer window approaches.
Isak, who has been with Newcastle for three years now, has become one of the most sought-after attacking players in the Premier League. With an impressive record of 36 goals in 73 appearances for the Magpies, it's no surprise that he has caught the attention of several top teams in Europe.
Despite missing a significant part of last season due to injury, Isak still managed to finish as Newcastle's top scorer with 25 goals in all competitions. This has only increased the interest in him from other clubs. In fact, it was reported that both Arsenal and Tottenham were willing to offer a whopping £100 million for Isak's services in the summer. However, Newcastle's manager Eddie Howe was determined to keep the striker and the club successfully held onto him for another season.
But now, it seems like there has been little progress in talks for a new contract for Isak. According to reports, there is no sign of a breakthrough from Newcastle's side. This has caught the attention of Arsenal, who are now closely monitoring the situation. It is believed that Isak is not willing to consider a contract extension unless he becomes Newcastle's highest earner and is given a release clause.
Isak's current contract with Newcastle, which he signed when he joined from Real Sociedad, runs until 2028. However, there are other young players on Arsenal's radar as well. Benjamin Sesko, who plays for RB Leipzig, was a target for the Gunners in the summer but a deal couldn't be reached. Additionally, players like Victor Osimhen, Dusan Vlahovic, and Viktor Gyokeres have also been linked with the club in recent months.
It's clear that Arsenal is looking to strengthen their attacking options and Isak would be a great addition to their team. However, the 25-year-old striker has remained coy about the speculation surrounding his future and has stated that he is very happy at Newcastle. In an interview with a Swedish outlet, Isak said that he had the best season of his career and loves everything about the club, the fans, and the city. He also added that he has no thoughts of leaving and is content with his life at Newcastle.
So, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Alexander Isak and whether he will continue to impress for Newcastle or make a move to Arsenal. Fans can only wait with bated breath to see how this transfer saga unfolds.
