Arsenal are reportedly making Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak a key target for the summer transfer window. The Sweden international continues to establish his reputation as one of the top attacking players in Europe, with Arsenal missing a genuinely world class all-rounder up front. Arsenal want him, and while a deal will probably have to wait until the summer, he is emerging as their top priority, potentially for a club-record fee.
According to Football Insider, Isak is now one of the biggest talents in the Premier League, with Newcastle valuing him at around £150m. Should Arsenal pursue this deal, they would be smashing their previous transfer record of £100m set with the signing of Declan Rice. Isak’s performance this season confirms he could be worth every penny, but the price raises questions under Financial Fair Play regulations.
Newcastle is unlikely to want to sell Isak, considering his pivotal role in their campaign to secure a top-four finish. Losing him would necessitate a major rebuilding effort for the club, making their asking price of £150m reasonable. This creates a challenge for Arsenal in determining if they are willing to pursue such an expensive signing, given the financial implications.
