Arsenal make £101m ‘final offer’ for Isak

Arsenal have made their “final offer” for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak ahead of the summer transfer window, according to reports. The Gunners are having a decent season in the Premier League, but it now looks like they will have to make do with being runners-up for the third season in a row.

But a fresh report on Spanish website Fichajes claims that Arsenal have made a ‘final offer’ of €120m (£101m) for Isak after the Newcastle striker emerged as the Gunners’ ‘top target for the upcoming transfer window’.

It’s claimed that the “massive offer” reflects ‘the London club’s determination to secure the striker’s services but a ‘deal won’t be easy’.

However, the report added that “those close to the player haven’t ruled out a change of scenery if the offer is sufficiently attractive.”
Fichajes continues: ‘‘Arsenal’s interest in Isak isn’t new, but it has grown in recent months due to the need to find a reliable number 9.

‘‘Arteta believes the Swede would bring mobility, power, and goalscoring power to a team that, while creating plenty of chances, has lacked impact in the penalty area. The investment would be high, but the Emirates are convinced that signing Isak would represent a leap in quality for the squad.’’

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand reckons the potential signing of Isak could win the Premier League title for Arsenal next season. Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel: “Arsenal fans have been calling out for a No.9 for two or three years. If you can sign Isak, you’ve got to do it. They could win the league with him because he’s phenomenal and gives them something different.”
