Alexander Isak will not be allowed to join Arsenal for less than £150 million this summer by Newcastle United. With 24 goals for the Toon, Isak enjoyed an amazing season. His stellar play has generated a great deal of media conjecture over Arsenal’s possible interest in a transfer.
Many think Newcastle has no plans to part with its standout forward. Rumours still circulate, nevertheless, that the Arsenal board may make a bid to sign the Swedish international. The Telegraph reports Newcastle isn’t even thinking about selling Isak. Eddie Howe believes he is going to be important.
Newcastle reportedly thought it ridiculous that a £90 million offer would be enough to entice them. Before they would consider selling Isak, Arsenal would have to treble that sum. Isak’s importance to Newcastle’s future aspirations is reflected in his hefty fee.
To stoke the flames, Arsenal great Ian Wright has openly pushed his old team to recruit Isak. He cited other close matches in which Arsenal was without a game-winning goal. Wright brought up the defeat to Aston Villa, for example, as a game in which Isak may have had an impact.
Arsenal Claims That £150 Million Will Obtain Mikel Arteta Their Top Target!
Newcastle is certain about their Isak value. They are aware of his value, particularly in view of his outstanding season. Should Arsenal really wish to attract the Swedish star to North London, they would have to go deep into their resources.
Future plans for Isak are still up for debate. But Newcastle’s stance seems unflinching. They think Isak is very important to their future success and greatly esteem him. Given his skill and significance to Newcastle, any possible trade will be expensive for Arsenal.
Surprises abound during the summer transfer season, and while Arsenal may want to buy Isak, Newcastle’s demands make it evident that luring him away won’t be simple. It’s unclear whether Arsenal can afford the exorbitant cost. To Newcastle’s relief, Isak is still a vital member of the squad for the time being.
