Arsenal’s ongoing interest in Alexander Isak has gained momentum amid reports that Newcastle United may already be preparing for his departure. Isak, who has been exceptional in the Premier League since joining Newcastle from Real Sociedad, has long been on Arsenal’s radar. His pace, technical skill, and scoring ability make him one of the most effective forwards in the league, and he has become a key player for the Magpies. However, his ambition to play in the Champions League regularly aligns with Arsenal’s objectives, which could bring him closer to the Emirates.
While Arsenal has been linked to other striking options, including Benjamin Sesko, Isak offers unique advantages. The Swedish forward already has Premier League experience, a significant factor for any team looking to bring in a reliable goal-scorer without requiring time to adapt to England’s top-flight competition. In contrast, Sesko, who is currently making a name for himself at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, might take longer to adjust. Isak’s experience in English football, combined with his proven ability to thrive in high-intensity games, gives him a potential edge over Sesko.
Caught Offside reports that Newcastle is now monitoring potential replacements for Isak, indicating that they may be open to his departure if the right offer comes in. His contract with Newcastle runs until 2028, so Arsenal would likely need to make a compelling financial offer to persuade Newcastle to sell. The possibility of competing more consistently in the Champions League with Arsenal, however, could sway Isak’s interest in the move, making it more feasible for Arsenal to push for the transfer if Newcastle is indeed open to negotiations.
For Arsenal, Isak’s addition would strengthen their forward line significantly. He brings versatility to the team’s attacking structure, capable of leading the line or supporting in wider positions, which fits well with Mikel Arteta’s fluid, attacking philosophy. Should Arsenal decide to pursue Isak seriously, he could become a valuable asset in their quest for both Premier League and European success.

Arsenal cannot afford the fee that Newcastle will want for him they will not accept the the silly price that they want to pay.
If we offer 70 million for Rice would they accept that I don’t think so
Two can play that game that means they got no chance.
