Arsenal are eyeing Newcastle’s in‑form striker Alexander Isak as a major summer target, according to Fabrizio Romano. He has netted 23 goals this season—with just three penalties—demonstrating sharp finishing and proven consistency.
Romano says: “Big, big, massive proposals will come to the table for Alexander Isak.
Arsenal will be there—he’s their absolute top target; Sesko is the other name. Liverpool are also in the mix, having made contact with people close to the player”.
Arteta sees an upgrade as vital. Havertz has chipped in with important goals, but Arsenal crave a Premier League‑calibre striker to drive title ambitions next season. Isak fits—tall, mobile, clinical, relentless.
But Liverpool aren’t standing still. They’ve already submitted a £110 m proposal, which Newcastle swiftly rejected. Still, they’re preparing a new offer.
Sources suggest they’re ready to break the British transfer record, with valuations potentially reaching £150 m as reported on Tribuna.com.
Newcastle appear reluctant to sell. They’ve rejected Liverpool’s bid outright and reportedly want to keep Isak unless a sky‑high fee arrives—and they build reinforcements first.
For Isak, the pull of Liverpool is strong. He has reportedly dismissed Saudi options and sees Merseyside as the natural next step. Arsenal remain interested, but Liverpool appear firmly ahead—maybe 60 % odds on securing the deal, as per Romano.
This is about a lot more than goals. It’s a tale of ambition. Newcastle holding the cards.
Isak holding the dream. The transfer market is closing—and this drama is far from over.
