Arsenal make transfer decision on £150m-rated Newcastle striker Alexander Isak Arsenal are unlikely to be able to afford the record-breaking transfer fee required to sign Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, according to reports.
However, according to the Daily Mail, any efforts from Arsenal to prise Isak away from St James’ Park – either in January or in the summer – appear increasingly unlikely.
However, the report indicates that Arsenal’s owner Stan Kroenke is extremely unlikely to sanction a move of that magnitude despite having spent over £100m to bring Declan Rice to the Emirates in July 2023.
Kai Havertz started the campaign in impressive form while Gabriel Jesus’ output has increased over recent weeks but there is still a long-held belief that Mikel Arteta’s side are in need a reliable striker to spearhead their title efforts.
Newcastle are steadfast that Isak will not leave the club, but a fee of more than £115million, which would break the British transfer record, would almost certainly test their resolve.
