Alexander Isak has been a revelation for Newcastle over the past two seasons, but the Swede's current stature has attracted interest from rival clubs

Newcastle’s Alexander Isak has rapidly become one of Europe’s premier marksmen, but the transfer speculation that now encompasses him is similar to that once endured by Erling Haaland

The Magpies also don’t need to sell. With strong financial backing, Newcastle can afford to keep their top players. They are building for the future, and Isak is a key part of that plan. Newcastle fans will hope the club stands firm. If Arsenal want Isak, they will have to do much better than this.
