One of the top Arsenal target has been slapped with a £150 million price tag. His current club wants to make him untouchable. This will be a major setback for Gunners.
The star in question is Alexander Isak of Newcastle. The 25 year old has been one of the best strikers in the world in recent seasons. He has been clinical for both Magpies and Sweden and has caught eyes of many top clubs.
Isak is highly rated with exit from Newcastle next year. He wants to play in Champions League regularly. In addition, there have been reports of fallout between the club and the player recently.
Gunners have been the long term admirers of the 25 year old. They are in desperate need of number nine. They are very likely to spend big next year in order to find a perfect striker who can help them win major titles.
Arsenal handed major blow in pursuit of Isak
Gunners have been heavily linked with Isak and are prepared to spend big. It was reported that they are willing to break their club record in order to land Isak. But, Newcastle have no intentions of letting the Sweden international go.
The Telegraph have now reported that Magpies have put a £150 million price tag on Isak. They have done this in order to make their valued asset untouchable.
Isak is tied with Newcastle with a contract running until 2028. This gives Magpies a huge say in deciding his future. This will be a major setback for Arsenal as they will not like to spend this big on only one star.
As of now, Isak is very likely to continue at Newcastle until the end of the season. He has 11 goals and 4 assists in 16 Premier League games this season. He will continue this fine form which may force top clubs to pay the demanded price for him.
