TARGET NO1: Alexander Isak breaks silence on Arsenal transfer rumours after ‘contract talks with Newcastle break down’

Alexander Isak has addressed speculation about his potential departure from Newcastle, making it clear where he stands regarding his future. After an impressive season with 25 goals in 40 games, several top European clubs, including Arsenal, showed interest in the striker. While there were initial discussions about a move over the summer, these talks stalled and are not expected to resume. Reports of a “breakdown” between Isak and Newcastle have also surfaced.

Despite the rumors, Isak’s current contract runs until 2028, and both he and the club reportedly do not view a new deal as a priority. Speaking to *The Chronicle*, Isak stated he avoids engaging with transfer rumors during the season, noting that such speculation has followed him throughout his career but does not impact him. He emphasized that he is focused on his role at Newcastle and is committed to helping the team have a successful season. He dismissed much of the circulating information as untrue, reiterating his contentment at the club.

This season, Isak has scored five goals in 11 games and remains a player of interest for Arsenal. However, Newcastle would likely demand over £100 million for the 25-year-old, who joined the club for £63 million from Real Sociedad in 2022.

Alexander Isak has addressed speculation linking him with a potential departure from Newcastle United, firmly reaffirming his commitment to the club. Despite reports of interest from top European sides, including Arsenal, Isak dismissed transfer rumors as untrue and emphasized his focus on Newcastle’s success. Speaking to *The Chronicle*, the Swedish striker shared that he does not let speculation distract him and expressed contentment with his current situation.

Following a stellar season with 25 goals in 40 appearances, Isak has continued to perform well this term, netting five times in 11 games. While clubs like Arsenal remain interested, any transfer would likely require a substantial fee exceeding £100 million, given his current contract, which runs until 2028. Isak joined Newcastle for £63 million in 2022 and has quickly become a key figure for the Magpies.

Both Isak and Newcastle reportedly see no urgency for a new contract, with the striker focused solely on his contributions to the team. His public remarks underline his commitment to helping Newcastle achieve their goals this season.
