Arsenal have been handed a setback in their pursuit of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, who has scored 23 Premier League goals.

We still have three matches to be played in Gameweek 37 but there is already plenty to talk about from those matches completed so far in the penultimate gameweek of the 2024-25 season. Injuries for Alexander Isak (£9.

Despite the price, former Arsenal man Alan Smith believes he is going to be ‘perfect’ for Arteta’s team. Speaking on Stadium Astro, Smith said: “I think he is the perfect profile [for Arsenal] Isak, in terms of his technical ability, he would slot in really well.

Liverpool could yet try tempt Newcastle with a firm offer for Alexander Isak - and new comments made by Eddie Howe may genuinely concern Magpies supporters.

Isak’s wage demands will not be for the faint-hearted. He wants to be paid as much as he could earn elsewhere, which means Newcastle will need to push well above the £200,000-a-week mark. It will need a new wage structure and a ceiling being broken, but when you consider how important he is, the money must be found.
