Arsenal have reportedly submitted a final bid of €120 million (£101m) for Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak as they intensify efforts to sign the Swedish striker ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Gunners, who are poised for another strong but ultimately second-place Premier League finish, see Isak as the ideal solution to their striking concerns.
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Arsenal’s pursuit of Isak has gained momentum in recent months, with Mikel Arteta identifying him as the perfect No. 9 to elevate the team’s attacking threat.
While Arsenal’s creative play has been strong, a lack of clinical finishing in the penalty area has been a persistent issue. The club believes Isak’s mobility, power, and goal-scoring ability would significantly boost their squad.
Despite Arsenal’s determination, negotiations with Newcastle are expected to be challenging. The Magpies are reluctant to part ways with their star forward, and the reported offer, though substantial, may not be enough to convince them to sell. However, sources close to Isak suggest a transfer could be possible if the deal is financially attractive.
Arsenal have been linked with several strikers ahead of the summer window, but Isak has emerged as their top priority.
