Newcastle United are, reportedly, already eyeing possible replacements for Alexander Isak amid links with Arsenal. The Sweden striker faces an uncertain future at the Magpies – despite his contract having four years remaining – as heavy-handed rumours continue to swirl.
The Gunners have long been in the market for attacking reinforcements to provide competition for Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus with Isak among a host of names mooted. Mikel Arteta’s side have also faced reports of interest in the likes of Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen – who has also captured European-wide attention.
Arsenal’s hunt for strikers has been a frustrating one with little options in the market or facing eye-watering transfer and/or wage demands from prospective targets. Premier League-proven Isak has four goals and two assists in nine appearances so far this season, including his header in the 1-0 win against Arsenal in November.
