Arsenal are plotting a formal bid to sign their priority target this summer. They are keen to sign that player but it will not be easy at all to do so.
The star in question here is Alexander Isak of Newcastle United. He has been superb since last season. He scored 25 goals and picked 2 assists last season. This season he has improved even further.
Isak has 19 goals along with 5 assists in just 29 games this season. Newcastle are very happy with him and want him at the club for long time. But, it will be very hard for them to do so.
Isak wants to play in UCL regularly and hence he rejected to sign new contract earlier. The Magpies will sanction his sale if they fail to qualify for Champions League. But, they will demand a hefty fee for the 25 year old.
Isak has interest from multiple clubs across whole Europe. Two clubs from England – Liverpool and Arsenal are showing interest in him right now. Both of these clubs are in need of clinical striker.
Arsenal preparing formal bid to sign Alexander Isak
Caught Offside have reported that Gunners are plotting a formal bid to sign Isak. The Sweden international has been on their radar since a very long time. The North London club are ready to step up their interest finally this summer.
However, signing Isak will not be easy at all. The Magpies are demanding a hefty fee which was earlier said to be around €200 million. Even if they negotiate, Isak will break the British transfer fee record for sure this summer.
Arsenal may hesitate to spend as high as €200 million. They also have plenty other positions to improve. As for striker, Isak is not their only target. They also have Benjamin Sesko who will cost lot less than Isak. In addition, he is far more younger than the Sweden international.
