Arsenal is preparing to make a bid for Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak, with the potential fee approaching £100 million, as reported by Fichajes.
Acquiring a new centre-forward during the summer transfer window appears to be a priority for the Gunners, given Mikel Arteta’s limited options this season. Both Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are currently sidelined due to injuries, and their performances have been inconsistent when available.
Isak has emerged as one of the premier strikers in global football over the past few seasons. Should he become available, it is likely that numerous clubs across Europe will compete for his signature. While Newcastle will be eager to retain him, a £100 million offer could prove to be an enticing proposition.
Arsenal Readying £100m Offer for Alexander Isak
Isak’s entourage don’t rule out a move
A report from the Spanish publication Fichajes indicates that Arsenal is preparing to submit a bid of €120 million (approximately £100 million) for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak during the upcoming summer transfer window. It has been suggested that Isak’s representatives have not dismissed the possibility of a transfer at the conclusion of the season; however, it remains uncertain if Newcastle would consider selling him. Additionally, Andrea Berta, who has recently accepted a position within Arsenal’s backroom staff, seems to be taking proactive steps in his new role.

It will be intriguing to observe if Isak expresses interest in transferring to Arsenal following Newcastle’s victory in the Carabao Cup over the weekend. The Magpies secured their first trophy in seven decades and have now qualified for European competition.
Given Isak’s high level of talent, he will likely aspire to compete in the Champions League and add to his trophy collection. Therefore, he will face a significant decision during the summer transfer window if an opportunity arises. While Newcastle will participate in European tournaments and has recently claimed a trophy, such achievements are not yet a consistent occurrence for Howe’s team.
