LIVE Transfer Talk: Arsenal eye potential move for Newcastle’s Isak

Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak is reportedly not considering a new contract, paving the way for a possible move to Arsenal, according to the Daily Mail.

While Isak is currently under contract with Newcastle until 2028, the report states that preliminary discussions held at the end of last season saw the Sweden international hesitant to extend his deal. A key factor in this reluctance is his desire to play in the UEFA Champions League.

With those talks now ended, neither the club nor the player see the need for a new contract at this time.

Arsenal, who have shown interest in the 25-year-old, may find this development promising. The report suggests that the Gunners could be willing to make a record-breaking offer to secure Isak, as they are looking to add a dedicated striker to their lineup.
