Latest transfer news as Alexander Isak is on list for Arsenal ahead of the summer transfer window.
Alexander Isak move update
Arsenal are looking to sign a new striker this summer. They failed to land a single player in the winter window in January. They are linked with plenty of forwards this time too.
Players such as Isak, Viktor Gyokeres, Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko are all linked to the Gunners. Although, the Newcastle United player has been the main target throughout.
The Sweden international is on a red hot form in the Premier League. He and his side won the League Cup after beating Liverpool 2-0 in the final. He scored the winner in that game against the Reds at Wembley Stadium.
🚨 Alexander Isak has snubbed interest from the likes of Barcelona, Chelsea and Liverpool to choose Arsenal as his preferred destination this summer.

The Swede, of course, has a huge price tag. The Magpies are not at all interested in selling their star. But, they could be open to talks if the bid is in around £130-150 million. Ede Howe’s side are preparing to offer him a new contract.
However, they have reportedly kept the talks on hold. Their star is gaining a lot of attention from other Premier League sides. They are trying to keep him for a long time but it has not been that easy at the moment. In addition, Caught Offside reports that the forward has declined his current club’s initial deal.
Liverpool joins the race
The north London side could face competition from the Reds for the signing of Isak. They both are looking to add some fire power in their attacks. The Gunners needed a striker for a long time now.
🚨 Liverpool are prepared to break their transfer record to sign Alexander Isak.
However, Joe Gomez, Jarell Quansah, Harvey Elliott and Ben Doak could all be offered in a swap deal to bring his price down.

While Liverpool could search for options if Mohamed Salah decides to leave in summer. His contract is valid only until the end of this season. But the Egyptian is expected to sign a new deal and extend his stay at Anfield.
Darwin Nunez is also expected to depart in the summer. With Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota could also be in their final few days with the club.
The Toon have put a big amount on their superstar. They are looking for offers around £150 million. Therefore, Arsenal and Liverpool may look for other options.
