Alexander Isak celebrating vs Arsenal
Newcastle United fans will be hoping that Alexander Isak stays with them for as long as possible, after becoming one of the best players in their long Premier League history – but they’ll have to brace themselves for repeated links to Arsenal, according to David Ornstein.

However, that comes with downsides. Such strong form will always attract interest from elsewhere, and Arsenal have taken a keen interest in his services, with Mikel Arteta clearly in the market for a striker.
Isak has been linked alongside in-form strikers such as Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres, but he’s seemingly the Gunners’ top choice, having excelled in the Premier League and proving himself in that regard.
“I don’t want to upset Newcastle fans, but I do think we’ll be hearing a lot more about Arsenal and [Alexander] Isak due to Mikel Arteta’s affinity with him. He nearly signed him from Real Sociedad before he went to Newcastle.”

Reports have stated that it would take £150million to prise him away from Tyneside, a fee that Arsenal likely wouldn’t pay, but that won’t stop links with Isak continuing to shine in the top-flight.
