Liverpool are desperate to sign world-class striker in the summer transfer window. The player is preferred target of Arsenal who are willing to do all in their power to land him in summer.
The star in question here is Alexander Isak of Newcastle United. The 25 year old has been superb since last season. He ended the last season with 25 goals and 2 assists. He has improved even more this season and already has 21 goals with 5 assists.
The Magpies are very happy with Isak but they might still need to sell him. The 25 year old is forcing for an away move as he wants to play regularly in Champions League. As of now, Newcastle are on 6th position and a significant change is required in last 11 games.
Arsenal are keen to sign Isak as striker signing is their top priority. Mikel Arteta likes the Sweden international very much and has notified the club about his desire. The North London club are almost qualified for playing UCL once again next season and hence can convince Isak with ease to join them.
Liverpool willing to make Isak their top priority
According to Times Sport, Liverpool have a growing interest in Alexander Isak. Arne Slot wants a new striker and the club is ready to back him. But, it won’t be easy for the Reds due to the transfer fee and the heavy competition.
Newcastle want as high as £150 million for Isak. They are unwilling to lower their demands and this makes Isak’s move very complicated. Liverpool are willing to sell both Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz. But, they might still struggle to spend this big.
As for Arsenal, they do have other options in the market. They are in pole position to land Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian can cost around £60 million and is much younger than Isak.
