£100M star Arsenal wants to sign edging towards big 2025 move

Alexander Isak’s representatives have reportedly been “shocked” by Newcastle United’s current position regarding his anticipated contract renewal, and the ARSENAL target could look to leave the club in 2025.

Isak conjured up 21 goals and two assists across 30 Premier League games last season, and with no European fixtures this term, Newcastle look set to challenge for a top-four finish, which they achieved under manager Eddie Howe in 2022-23.

Isak, who has only scored twice for Newcastle so far this term, has ambitions to keep playing in the Champions League after having a taste at Toon a year ago, but But if Eddie Howe’s side miss out on a top four finish then he could potentially look to leave, with a lack of an extended deal increasing that possibility.

Isak remains under contract until 2028 and preliminary discussions between the Magpies and the star over a new package were held before the summer, but that has not stopped rumours that Arsenal are keen.

Now according to TBR Football. Although the Swedish striker was expected to follow teammates Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon in securing improved terms, his contract negotiations have hit several unexpected obstacles.

Isak, who is already contracted with Newcastle until 2028, wasn’t initially a priority for renegotiation in the short term. However, given that he isn’t one of the club’s top earners, discussions around an updated deal began earlier this year, with initial talks dating back to before Easter.

Freddie Ljungberg, a two-time Premier League winner, recently claimed Isak can go to another level at the likes of ARSENAL, Chelsea or Man City and has described his compatriot as ‘freaking special’.

‘I like Isak. His top level is huge,’ the Arsenal legend told Swedish outlet Expressen.

‘He has these super top qualities that I, as a coach, might look for. I want players who have some super power, then you can put them in special situations and know that they will make a difference.

‘His top qualities are so freaking special that I think he can be even better. He could go all the way up to the absolute top because of the speed he has, the nice finishes and the understanding of the game.

‘This is the player for whom I want things to go so incredibly well. He seems so humble and down to earth, and it feels like he just wants to work hard and play football.

‘I really hope he can take the next step. Newcastle is a good club. There is nothing wrong with that.

‘But at some point I hope he goes to ARSENAL, Chelsea or Man City where he can pour in goals. That’s what I hope.’
