Alexander Isak is a Premier League opponent, and Arsenal is reportedly doing everything in their power to sign him as quickly as possible. It was anticipated that the Gunners will spend the summer transfer window on a new striker, with Mikel Arteta and Edu making a strong push to capture Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig. Arsenal spent the remainder of the summer transfer window without adding a striker when Sesko, 21, chose to remain and sign a new deal with Leipzig.
Arteta has been able to deploy Kai Havertz as a striker permanently with Gabriel Jesus as his partner or understudy after Mikel Merino was added to the midfield. Leandro Trossard has also been tried up front. Even though they were blank in Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Newcastle, Arteta’s team has scored 17 Premier League goals in 10 games, so they are not exactly having a hard time scoring this season.
Alexander Isak to Arsenal transfer latest
If Alexander Isak, a star for Newcastle United, is well enough to play, he might get the ideal Premier League tryout against Arsenal. However, Isak still has four years left on his present contract, and there are rumors that negotiations are in progress to extend it under new conditions. Sporting director Edu and company might try to sign a new striker in the new year after failing to do so in the summer.
According to a story published in The Daily Mail last month, Isak will look for a move if the Magpies fail to qualify for the Champions League the following season. According to the source, his camp has concerns about the project’s pace at St. James’ Park.
