Arsenal are interested in signing the Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak at the end of the season.
The 25-year-old has established himself as one of the best strikers in the world, and he has been outstanding in the Premier League this season. He has been linked with Liverpool as well.
The player has 27 goals to his name in all competitions. He could transform Arsenal’s attacking unit if he joins the club. Isak is highly rated across Europe, and he has been likened to the Arsenal legend Thierry Henry as well.
“Alexander Isak is giving me little vibes of Thierry Henry, to be honest,” said Nedum Onuoha on BBC Sport’s Final Score.
They have not been able to score goals consistently this season, and Arsenal need to sign a quality striker. He could be a major upgrade on Gabriel Jesus if he joins the club. The opportunity to play for Arsenal will be quite exciting for him as well. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have been fighting for the league title and the Champions League consistently.

According to Fichajes, Arsenal are preparing a club record bid to sign the player. They could offer €150 million for the Swedish international. Such an offer could certainly tempt Newcastle into selling their key player.
Newcastle are pushing for Champions League qualification, and they have won the English League Cup this season. They will look to build on it and push for trophies next year as well. Ideally, they will not want to lose any of their key players, but a €150 million offer can be difficult to turn down.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Arsenal should have no problems convincing the player to join them. He has proven himself with Newcastle, and he will be tempted to join a bigger club this summer.
