Newcastle United's Alexander Isak has once reaffirmed his desire to stay at St James' Park long into the future, insisting he is not focusing on anything other than qualifying for the Champions League this season.
Isak wrote his name in the history books at Wembley on Sunday evening, netting the winning goal against Liverpool to end United's long-running trophy drought. The striker was [quizzed about his Newcastle future both before](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/alexander-isak-breaks-silence-newcastle-31197611) and after the game, with the Swede again questioned on the matter after linking up with his international colleagues in recent days.
Speaking in Marbella at Sweden's training camp, Isak shot down any rumours of an upcoming Tyneside exit. "There's not much to say, really," he told [Fotbollskanalen.](https://www.fotbollskanalen.se/sverige/isak-efter-braksuccen-otrolig-kansla/?utm_source=twitter_fk&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fotbollskanalen_nyheter)
"I've commented on my situation and my security in Newcastle several times. It's been written how much I love the city and the club, how well I feel there. I'm not thinking about the future.
"I just want to perform for Newcastle. Now we won the cup, but we want to finish strong and reach the Champions League games. That's where my focus lies.
"There is no reason for me to think about anything else (other than Newcastle). I feel incredibly comfortable at Newcastle. The only focus I have is on playing."
Isak is under contract at Newcastle until 2028 but talks will take place in the coming months to ensure the Carabao Cup champions can tie one of the world's very best down further into the future, on improved terms. This move comes after the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, PSG and Bayern Munich have been linked with a move for the former Real Sociedad man.
Newcastle's chairman, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, is said to be a huge fan of Isak's, naturally, and does not want to entertain the club losing him to a rival. Meanwhile, any bid for the player would have to obliterate Premier League spending records to even begin to get Newcastle around the negotiating table.
