Arsenal are reportedly keeping a close eye on Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, who is said to have a verbal agreement with the Magpies to leave for a new challenge this summer.
The Gunners are expected to be in the market for a new centre-forward in the upcoming transfer window, with their lack of a natural No. 9 proving problematic this season. While Kai Havertz has led the line admirably, scoring 15 goals, his recent hamstring injury has ruled him out for the rest of the campaign, adding to Arsenal’s attacking woes.
Arsenal identified their ideal striker profile last summer, and Isak was a strong candidate. However, no formal approach was made at the time. This season, the Swedish forward has demonstrated exactly why he fits the bill, scoring 19 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions.
