Arsenal are now exploring alternative striker targets, having decided to shelve their pursuit of Alexander Isak after Newcastle slapped a hefty price on the Swedish star

Newcastle reportedly value Alexander Isak at over £150million, a fee which would break the British transfer record Chelsea set 18 months ago when signing Moises Caicedo

Arsenal are ‘likely’ to revive their interest in Alexander Isak this summer, with Mikel Arteta’s side open to Newcastle’s price tag, which would exceed €100 million.

Ian Wright believes Mikel Arteta has been forced to rely too heavily on the creativity of Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka and Arsenal must look to strengthen in the January transfer window. Odegaard was sidelined for two months with an ankle problem at the start of the season and it’s no coincidence that Arsenal’s revival in form over the winter period has coincided with their captain’s return to full fitness.
