Arsenal may be on high alert following reports that Newcastle United has not initiated any contract extension talks with their star forward, Alexander Isak. Despite Isak’s existing contract running until 2028, Newcastle has yet to open negotiations for an extension or salary review, which could open the door for potential suitors like Arsenal to make a move next summer.
Arsenal has shown a long-standing interest in the Swedish striker, who could address their need for a prolific forward. Following an impressive season with Newcastle, where Isak scored 21 goals, his market value has only risen, putting him in line with Arsenal’s ambitions to compete at the highest level. Given Arsenal’s need to bolster their attacking options, Isak’s availability might fit perfectly into Mikel Arteta’s long-term plans, especially as they seek consistency alongside Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.
Newcastle, however, will likely place a high price tag on their star, and any Arsenal bid would have to reflect the Magpies’ valuation. Yet, the uncertainty around Isak’s contract situation could push the North London club to monitor developments closely as they strategize for the upcoming transfer window.
