Arsenal wants to sign Newcastle United’s striker Alexander Isak as their top target for the next transfer window.
Arsenal, who are currently leading the Premier League, could increase their lead to four points if they win against Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.
Mikel Arteta’s team is just one point ahead of Manchester City, the reigning champions. If they beat Bournemouth, they’ll be four points ahead, at least until City plays Wolves later. Last season, Arsenal came second after City, and Arteta wants to do better this time.
Meanwhile, the people in charge of signing new players for the club are getting ready for a possibly hectic summer transfer window.
Arsenal Pursues Alexander Isak: Potential Boost for Attack
A report from The Independent says Arsenal really wants to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for the next transfer window. Isak also plays for Sweden’s national team. He’s been scoring a lot for Newcastle, with 23 goals in 36 games this season. This got Arteta, Arsenal’s manager, interested in having Isak join the team for the next season.
When he was 24, Isak moved from Real Sociedad in Spain to Newcastle in 2022, for a reported fee of £63 million. Even though he has a contract with Newcastle until the end of the 2027/28 season, there are rumors that Newcastle might need to sell some important players to follow the Premier League’s financial rules.
Arsenal sees Isak as a great player who could make their team stronger in attack. They really want to sign him, but they don’t want to spend too much time negotiating. They prefer to make a quick and clear agreement.
In the two years since he joined Newcastle, Isak has done really well, scoring 33 goals and making four assists in 63 games. Arsenal believes that if they sign Isak, it will make their attacking game stronger and help them compete for top prizes next season.
