Alexander Isak is set to be a key name in transfer discussions as the summer window approaches.
The Swedish striker has been in outstanding form for Newcastle United, consistently delivering performances that highlight his exceptional ability. Many believe he is too talented to remain at the club long-term, and speculation regarding his future continues to intensify.
Since joining Newcastle, Isak has played a pivotal role in their resurgence, helping them secure their first major trophy in 70 years with their Carabao Cup triumph. Now, with the Magpies aiming for a top-four finish, he remains central to their ambitions. His contributions have made him one of the most sought-after forwards in European football, with several top clubs monitoring his situation.
Arsenal have emerged as a strong contender for his signature, with reports suggesting they are prepared to break their transfer record to bring him to the Emirates Stadium. While other clubs are also keen on securing his services, many believe Arsenal are the favourites to finalise a deal.
As the speculation grows, Isak is currently on international duty and was recently asked about the mounting interest in him. Addressing the rumours, he reaffirmed his commitment to Newcastle, focusing on their objectives for the remainder of the season.
Speaking to Fotbollskanalen, he stated:
“There’s not much to say, really. I’ve commented on my situation and my security in Newcastle several times. It’s been written how much I love the city and the club, how well I feel there. I’m not thinking about the future. I just want to perform for Newcastle. Now we won the cup, but we want to finish strong and reach the Champions League games. That’s where my focus lies.”
While Isak’s immediate focus remains on helping Newcastle achieve their goals, his future is likely to dominate headlines in the coming months. Any potential move would require a significant transfer fee, given his importance to the Magpies and his long-term contract. If Arsenal or any other club wish to secure his services, they must be prepared to meet Newcastle’s financial demands.

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS! Anyone who would like to contribute an Article or Video opinion piece on JustArsenal, please contact us through this link…
Why would Isak leave a club that has won a trophy and join a team that doesn’t win trophy’s?. 😂👍
trophies
He might think to himself “great we won the Carabao Cup, is this the best this club can do? – I’d rather be with a better club.”
Derek, perhaps you should ask Timber, Odegaard, Havertz, Partey, Rice the same question?
Perhaps the history of the two clubs, along with the amount of trophies won in last seventy years might have something to do with it?
Derek, one might ask you why are you a fan of The Arsenal when all you do is moan.
Would he moan if we won the Prem or CL?
While the club fail you can’t blame any Gooner for not being happy
There’s a difference between not being happy and continuous moaning…
Depends what he’s moaning about ?
Everything it seems Dan 🤔😂
Take it in isolation
I just see a Gooner not happy with the season
I can’t blame anyone for that
I see someone who’s trolling Just Arsenal, it’s so obvious Dan.
Ken, Derek’s comments reminds me of what we used to sign to the Man Utd supporters at Highbury…
🎵All you do is f**king moan🎵
😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
There’s very little pleasing people
Win the Carabao cup and it’s soft trophy compared to the league, top 4 or CL trophy
Come second 2 years in a row and possibly get 2nd again after a difficult season and it’s all doom and gloom
I’d love to win silverware and imagine going to Wembley for the final. Equally, I value top4 and the financial clout that it brings. I’m grateful that by an accident of birth, my family have been, and still continue to be supporting the Arsenal for over 80 years
I maintain Sue win the Prem and not many Gooners could complain
They’d have to be odd not to be happy Dan. So we win a trophy of some description under Arteta and it still won’t be enough for quite a few posters which is pretty much what my first paragraph was alluding to.
Why does it matter though
There no correct or not correct , it’s a person opinion
Why would anyone be bothered by one person’s opinion ?
It would be sad if this became a site where we are only content if we read what we agree with ?
Why does it matter?
It matters to all those who write reams and reams and reams of posts thinking it does matter that we haven’t won anything for nearly however many years it is currently. Now that is sad as well,
He wants to go to Real Madrid.
Bang on the money SueP.
SueP
The Carabo Cup winners get £100,000
The FA Cup winners get £2,000,000
The PL winners get £56,400,000
The CL winners get approx. £175.900,000
At this moment in time, The Arsenal have got £102,000,000 for getting to the last eight of the CL.
All the above figures, courtesy of Google, do not take into account revenue from the games themselves.
So one could say that Newcastle might be able to pay Nwaneri’s salary for a week from their cup winnings, while we could go out and buy the striker that Derek wants, from our participation in the CL to date… the estimated figure for the winner of the CL is £175,900,000…youve got to be in it to win it!!
As I said, these figures are to be found by Googling (if that’s a real word 🤔😂).
I really love what am reading. Let him decide at the end of this season whether to remain earning 100,000 pounds cup or participate in the UCL where already we have got 10 times income upto this stage.
If Isak does leave Newcastle, he certainly won’t come to Arsenal.
It will probably be Liverpool, or another European team.
I quite like the fact that some of you seem to get rattled by my humble opinion.
And Dan’s right, if we win a trophy, I will gladly give Arteta some credit.
But unlike some of the poster’s on here I don’t really care much for second place finishes. And as for the clubs coffer’s, I’m not interested in being the clubs accountant.
All I want to see is the club buy better in the transfer window, and win a trophy. You know those shiny things that club captains get to hold above there head when club is successful.
I wonder how many of you will be rattled by my latest post. 🙄🤦♂️🤷♂️😜
I’m taking a break from Just Arsenal until next season, by which time I hope Derek will have disappeared up whichever drainpipe he resides in.
Oh don’t go Jax,
I’ve only just started warming up.
And as for the drainpipe comment. I don’t currently live in one, as the rent’s are astronomical at the moment.😂🤣👍😉
Derek, your opinion is valued, however, it would be more valued if you was not always so antagonistic. Let’s ALL keep it civil and well mannered.
Admin Martin,
As you’ll see below I’ve explained myself. But I will take your point on board. 😉👍
I have responded and thank you.
😂😂😂
My post was meant as a reply to Jax.
I hope you will reconsider Jax, as your comments are always valid and welcome.
Derek, no one is “rattled” by your comments – just “astounded” by their continued negativity and it seems to be the older supporters who lived through worse periods in the club’s history than finishing second two years running and through to the last eight of the CL who are mystified by such negativity.
Whatever rocks your boat of course, but I’ve just purchased my ticket for the Madrid game and I can’t wait to see us go head to head with them 👍👍
Ken1945,
I sincerely hope you enjoy going to the Madrid game. And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
I was so moved by your post.😢🙄🤦♂️🤷♂️
Nice to know you can be positive occasionally and that you have a heart 💔
I was beginning to doubt it 😭
Ken1945,
You say I have a heart,😣 I’ll soon put that right I must be slipping.😂🤣😉👍
Take a couple of days Jax and reconsider, your opinion is valued. You do not have to respond to Derek or anyone that you do not want to.
Admin Martin,
I totally agree with you. My posts may not be to everyone’s taste, and that’s perfectly fine.
But as you say, no one has to respond to my opinions or even give them the time of day by reading them if they don’t want to.
I will admit that certain post from me do have some wind up value to them. And sometimes I’ll throw a theoretical grenade in the mix to see which way it blows so to speak. And sometimes it creates a good conversation at times.
People that get wound up by my posts relax and chill out, life’s to short to get rattled.
I’m no one of importance in your life, so don’t let what I say bother certain posters so much.
And just a message to Jax. Keep sending your post’s as I genuinely enjoy reading them. There a darn sight better than some of my comments that’s for sure.
And if I upset you so much, which isn’t my intention then don’t read my posts, as soon as you see my name just give it a wide berth. 😉👍
I appreciate your response Derek and I am pleased that you accept that you do on occasions wind people up and on occasions throw a theoretical grenade in the mix, however, sometimes you do go too far. I agree that posters on here can ignore your posts etc and that a wide variety of opinions are welcomed, it is healthy for debate but I do not want to get to a stage where debate is stifled because of the manner of the comments. You do not always need to be winding people up to get a point across.
Admin Martin,
Thank you for your response. 👍
Stay in the boat Jax. You are a true gooner who typically displays fine motivation for commenting and who’s perspectives are reasonable and get me to think “outside the box” from time to time. Don’t let the handful or so commenters who go down the same path over and over again deter you.
It’s not an airport no need to announce your departure .
Arsenal would have won 3 premier cups in a row !!!
For the last 2 seasons and this one inclusive !
1. All Arteta had to do was to get a good striker ,
2. Slowly integrate both good academy ( Heaven ,Chido and Biereth )and newly bought young players ( Saliba ,lukonga ). Because had he integrated Saliba early then he wouldnt have to spend 50M buying White ( Am not saying White is bad or anything )
3. Learn how to rotate he’s players through out the season
4. Learn when to sell and hold on too !
He let Niles go on free when he knew he didn’t have him in his place ,when Wolves has offered us 29M a season before . Jesus was meant to be sold before Jan raising funds for a new striker now we can coz of injury ,now he is going to going to let Partey go on free yet he could have given him 1 year coz we are not sure if the Sociedad will stabilize that midfield .
Would be a massive shame if JA turned into a site that allows only one side of an opinion @Admartin.
We all know where Jax was going with his post (needing to get someone banned )
Some of us have seen it over the years on here ,and it’s disgusting.
Never seen Derek be abusive to anyone tbh and while I don’t always agree with what he writes ,no where up above does he deserve the usual herd mentality from the same old group .
Cannot stand it and will always point that out when needed .
I literally said today that all sides are allowed to post their opinions and that questioning anyones love of Arsenal is unwarrented. Maybe you missed it.
That’s fine but it seems you have stuck to one side ,and called Derek a wind up merchant because it follows the rest of the group up top .
We all know where Jax was going with his post ,its childish and under handed ,mind you the in crowd all seem to be of Certain age .
Verging on bullying as we’ve seen over the years with certain groups ,personally I couldn’t give to sH1ts what people think of me and I don’t need to bring other people into my arguments,what I don’t like is how Derek as been made to look ,that why I have pointed that out .
Dan Kit,
I really appreciate your speaking up for me. But in Admin Martins defense, in one of my earlier posts I admitted that in some of my posts I can be a bit of a wind up merchant.
But thanks again for speaking up for me, its very much appreciated. 😉👍
Sigh, I also called out Munster and defended Derek’s right to be heard, again, maybe you did not read that.You also may not have read some of my previous comments in regards to another user that took an opposite viewpoint, I also stepped in and closed comments on a post previously when it started getting personal. So, to accuse me of being stuck on one side is absolutly wrong. I will also say that you are not too slow in being confrontational and are no angel. I will say it again, I dont care what side people are on, everyone has the right to be heard, but people being overly antagonistic, bullying, abusive and so on will be called out. Everyone will abide by Pat’s rules, they are carved in stone and if those rules are ignored consistently then I will act accordingly.
Mate i know i am confrontational ,where ive I said im not ?
Not really about me is it ,like ive said over the years what i write on here is what i would say to anyone’s face ,something alot of posters on here wouldn’t .
I’ve been banned countless times (probably deserved)fromPat but he always let me have my say .
Let’s be honest most of my bans have been me given an opinion and then having the need to reply out of haste.
Anyway as along as I can still post that Arteta a knob then fair play .
I think Arsenal’s chances of getting Isak in the upcoming Summer window will depend upon Newcastle getting into the Champions league next season!
If they fail, then I think both Isak & Guimaraes will be available (and possibly Tonali too).
Then it will be up to the Board to make the money available,
I watched the recent Netherlands Spain game, especially Zubimendi’s performance.
I thought he was neat and tidy in his play, but he did not look incisive, or quick for that matter.
In fact he looked like a slightly younger version of Jorginho.
On the strength of that match I would rather have De Jong.
In his play he looked a lot like Colin Bell, especially in his decisive forward runs.
Not my decision fortunately
Still long way to go before the Summer break
