Arsenal may be forced to break their transfer record if they are to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, which could complicate the Gunners’ pursuit of the Swedish striker.
Isak remains Arsenal’s primary target in attack, and many fans would be thrilled to see the forward join the club at the end of the current season. However, given the potential cost of such a deal, Arsenal are beginning to explore alternatives as they also look to strengthen other areas of their squad.
While the Swedish international is possibly keen on a move, his high price tag presents a significant obstacle, and the Gunners have identified another player as a potential addition to their attacking ranks.
According to The Sun, Arsenal are serious about signing Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt at the conclusion of the season. The French forward has impressed many with his performances, and Arsenal have been monitoring him for several months. They are reportedly confident that Ekitike has the necessary qualities to lead the line at the Emirates.
The report suggests that Arsenal will enter discussions with Frankfurt regarding Ekitike’s transfer and attempt to negotiate a deal for the highly rated striker. Ekitike has been in fine form for both his club and the France U21 national team, showcasing his ability to make an impact at the highest levels of European football.
Given his impressive performances and potential to add more goals to the team, Ekitike could prove to be a valuable addition to Arsenal’s attack. While the pursuit of Isak remains a possibility, the Gunners may well look to Ekitike as a more financially viable alternative.

Good luck with him.
Had a great chance to become a legend at Newcastle before Isak. Chose to sit on the bench at PSG.
Ekitike, reportedly valued at £60 million, turns 23 in June and has 19 goals/8 assists in 38 games for EF in all comps in a “break out” season. Apparently, he almost moved to Newcastle in Jan 2022.🤣 I haven’t seen this kid play much but I’m not in favor of breaking the bank for Isak.
Its been reported in the sun, Oh! it must be true. 🙄🤦♂️
