The 25-year-old Sweden international was also prolific in front of goal last season, scoring 25 goals in all competitions to attract interest from a number of top clubs. Arsenal have long been linked with a move for Isak as Mikel Arteta considers bringing a new frontman to the Emirates Stadium to take the Gunners to the next level.

The north London club opted against signing a new striker last summer but are said to be very interested in striking a deal for Isak, who Newcastle value at more than £100m. Ex-England striker Owen says Isak is ‘seriously good’ and believes he wouldget into every team in the Premier League, with Manchester City possibly the only exception given the presence of prolific goalscorer Erling Haaland at the Etihad Stadium.
‘He’s seriously good,’ Owen said on Premier League Productions. ‘Newcastle have done so well to get him, develop him and feed him. ‘They have some good players in attacking positions and they play to his strengths. He would be one of the most sought-after players in the market.
