Clock’s ticking.
Arteta’s dream to land that elusive Premier League crown is unraveling.
Injuries have dismantled the front line: Gabriel Jesus is out for the season with a knee injury, Kai Havertz is ruled out with a hamstring strain, while Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli remain sidelined from recent fitness setbacks.
That leaves Arsenal with just Leandro Trossard, Raheem Sterling, and Ethan Nwaneri spearheading their attack. Not enough.
Now, whispers from Spanish outlet Fichajes on Football Talk | Premier League News, say Arsenal are drafting a formal proposal to sign Newcastle’s goal machine Alexander Isak next summer. The Swedish striker isn’t just a target—he’s the blueprint.
Isak has lit up the Premier League, bagging over 20 goals last term and already netting 17 this season. Premier League-proven. Prime age. Reliable.
But Newcastle are digging in. With a contract until 2028, any sale would be a forced one—and they won’t budge under £100 million.
Some outlets even hint at a staggering €150 million valuation to ward off suitors as the report stated.
Still, Arsenal appears ready to shatter their own records. This could be the club’s most expensive signing ever—if Arteta and his board are serious about striking gold.
Newcastle, however, are playing hardball.l, with plans to keep him
This isn’t posture. It’s pressure. Arsenal are primed to launch a blockbuster bid—a message that they’re done waiting.
For Isak? It’s now-or-never.
