Eddie Howe issues Alexander Isak transfer update as Arsenal sent clear message amid striker hunt

 

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has delivered a firm update on Alexander Isak’s future amid growing interest from Arsenal. The Swedish striker has been in sensational form this season, attracting attention from top clubs, including the Gunners, who are keen to bolster their attacking options.

 

However, Howe has made it clear that Newcastle have no intention of selling their star forward.

 

“Alex is a huge part of our plans,” Howe stated. “He’s an outstanding player, and we’re building something special here. There’s no desire from us to let him go.”

 

Arsenal, who are reportedly in the market for a prolific striker, have been closely linked with Isak. But with Newcastle standing firm, Mikel Arteta may need to look elsewhere to strengthen his frontline.

 

Isak, who joined Newcastle in 2022, has been instrumental this campaign, showcasing his clinical finishing and versatility. With the Magpies aiming to push for European football again, retaining their key players remains a priority.

 

For now, Arsenal’s pursuit of Isak appears to be a non-starter—unless they’re prepared to table an astronomical offer. Will the Gunners shift their focus to other targets? Only time will tell.
