Just pay it: Arsenal’s dream transfer target’s asking price revealed in report | OneFootball

Arsenal would reportedly have to pay huge money for the transfer of Alexander Isak, but that’s hardly surprising, is it?

And actually, the fee being reported at the moment arguably isn’t even that bad, with Newcastle’s asking price set at €150m, or £125m, according to a report from Fichajes.

Isak has been almost unplayable for Newcastle this season, scoring 19 goals in 27 games in all competitions, while he has a total of 54 goals in 94 appearances since he joined the Magpies.

“It ended BADLY with Wenger” – this nightmare Arsenal legend “had problems with EVERYONE”, his former teammate reveals!

The Sweden international just seems to get better and better every year, and his pace and clinical finishing look like making him the ideal player to complete Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side.

It’s not often we see Arsenal splash the cash on big names like this, but we saw it as recently as summer 2023 when Declan Rice joined from West Ham for over £100m, as per BBC Sport‘s report at the time.

Like Rice, it makes sense that Isak would cost crazy money as he’s a ready-made and proven world class performer in the Premier League.

And even if it might be tempting to go for cheaper options, there’s little doubt Arsenal would be getting the real deal with a player like Isak.

You never know how other exciting talents like Benjamin Sesko or Viktor Gyokeres will settle in to English football, but Isak has done it here already.

If Mikel Arteta had a lethal finisher like that in his squad this season, Arsenal would likely be a lot closer to Liverpool in this Premier League title race.

The north London giants surely can’t afford to go another season without a 25-plus-goals-a-season player in their ranks, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to go all in on Isak.

Perhaps there are other options out there, but there are surely many figures in the game who’d see £125m as pretty decent money for such a top player.
