Arsenal is reportedly interested in signing Swedish striker Alexander Isak, but they are not the only club keeping a close eye on the Newcastle star. Isak has proven to be one of the best strikers in world football, and his consistent performances for the Magpies have earned him a reputation as a top talent in the Premier League. With his impressive goal-scoring ability and all-around play, it’s no wonder that bigger clubs, like Arsenal, are considering making a move for him.
Newcastle, under manager Eddie Howe, has established itself as a club with some of the best players in the league, thanks to significant investments and smart recruitment. As a result, it’s inevitable that top clubs like Arsenal will always be linked with a move for their key players. For instance, the Magpies nearly lost Anthony Gordon to Liverpool in the last transfer window, but the forward ultimately signed a new contract with the club, signalling Newcastle’s intent to hold onto their best talent.
Despite interest from Arsenal and others, Isak is reportedly settled in at Newcastle, where he has become an integral part of the squad. However, according to a report from the Daily Mail, it’s unlikely that Newcastle will entertain offers for the Swedish striker in the near future. The club has made it clear that they will not consider selling any of their key players during the next transfer window. This decision is part of a broader strategy to maintain the stability of their squad as they work towards becoming a consistent Champions League contender.
Newcastle’s ambition to build a top-tier team is clear, and they are not willing to risk disrupting that progress by selling their best players. The club is in a strong financial position and does not need to sell, meaning they will only part ways with a star player if an offer is deemed excessive and they can find an adequate replacement on the market. Given the current state of the team and their aspirations, it’s unlikely that Isak will be leaving the club anytime soon.
For Arsenal, this means that their pursuit of the Swedish striker could end in disappointment. While Isak’s talent is undeniable, Newcastle’s resolve to keep their top players makes any potential deal extremely difficult to pull off. However, Arsenal could look elsewhere to strengthen their attack in the summer, especially if they are unable to land one of their primary targets.
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.
They’ve not won the league in something like a century, and they’ve only won a few minor trophies since. This ‘new’ Newcastle keeps falling short too, and it looks like they may just miss out on CL again this season. Despite them being our bogey team at present, overall we’re streets ahead and hopefully, with the final additions this summer, on the verge of greatness. Isak has been loyal to them, as such if they miss CL again and he wants to move on, they’ll surely have to let him leave otherwise it’ll put off future players joining them. Whether he chooses us over pretty much any other team he can choose from is another matter but if we can afford him and he’s interested it could be the most perfect addition imaginable.
Fingers crossed it works in our favour!
Hi Arsenal, it was always a fantasy, YOUR fantasy. No-one apart from you believed it, Isak would never leave Newcastle United for Arsenal or anywhere else. NOW you can relax and concentrate on playing football . . . with your own players !!!
We had all the chance to sign him from Betis, but no!
Hello, good to have you have you back. To be honest, Arteta was not interested in signing a CF in Jan or last summer as his favorites Gabby J and Kai are on the payrolls. This talk from the media is pure speculation. Most of AFC deals happen with no media fanfare. If Arteta needs a player, he gets him at any cost. If Arteta really needed a CF, surely he would have hired someone. The Ollie bid was well timed as he knew Villa would not sell both forwards at the same time. Well, if Isak is happy looking at silverware from a distance, who are we to complain? Goodluck to him and NU fans, keep watching. Arteta didn’t want him when he was at Sociedad, nor does he want him now.
I like that sentence – “looking at silverware from a distance”. Nicely put, I think. However, that if you know anything about our new owners at all, you would realise that they have no intention of doing that!
You seem a bit fixated about what Arsenal are planning for the summer window.
Mr Peter L Kane,
While I may agree with your comment regarding Isak coming to Arsenal in the near future, your comment regarding would never leave Newcastle for any other team I think you’ll need to rethink.
If you think that the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, or even PSG come knocking, lets see how loyal Mr Isak is then shall we. 😉👍 Just saying.
Let’s wait and see what the summer transfer window have too say about it.
Upwards & Onwards.

If you listen to what Alexander Isak has been saying, repeatedly, and now what Newcastle United have just said, you will know the reality.
No, but the Southern Media (pretending to be a “National” Media) most certainly is. It is cringing, embarrassing, they never stop!
What other blogs do you troll?
Jax,
It would seem there must be a little doubt there, for Mr Peter L Kane to gate crash the Just Arsenal page.
I don’t know what he’s got to worry about. Who needs Isak, we’ve got Merino remember.😂🤣😉👍
As if we ever wanted him in the first place, Derek.
Talking about shopping in the summer, If Arsenal win the league in phase five, the whole dynamics change.
That also means the war chest
The general consensus is that we should “break the bank” to buy Saka in the summer. It will enable him to finally fulfil his potential and mean that NUFC will
win the league.
Mr Peter L Kane,
If Newcastle break that bank, the employee’s are going to be fuming.😂🤣😉👍
Arsenal should stop worrying herself about buying Isak from Newcastle, especially as they don’t want to sell. There are other fishes in the river, like Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko, Victor Osimhen , etc…We shouldn’t waste our time chasing shadows….
chairman Gallant,
Your right we shouldn’t chase shadows. After all, we did enough of that when we played them over two legs in the League Cup. 😂🤣😉👍
Edu and Ayto should have listened to Arteta and signed Isak for 70 million euros when he was still at Sociedad
Just quoting (word for word with the names changed) a certain Mr P Merson day-after-day after day on Sky Sports “News” !!
Yes, we will see indeed, and so will you!
