Arsenal has received a new blow for their hope to sign Alexander Isak in the summer, with Newcastle attempting to withstand the rush.
Isak has settled as one of the best attackers in the Premier League since he arrived in St James' Park in the summer of 2022. This season he scored 19 goals in all competitions, so that the magpies are fired in the final of the Carabao Cup.
But it was a difficult campaign in the top flight for the men of Eddie Howe. They are currently seventh in the table, three points behind the fourth -placed Manchester City, which she insists on Saturday.
Their struggles, in combination with Arsenal's desire to sign an attacker of world class in the summer, has led to suggestions that Isak could make the move to London. The Swedish star has long been admired by Gunners -Baas Mikel Arteta.
But the chances that his side was able to secure the signing of Isak have had a blow. According to the Daily Mail, Newcastle will not allow their top stars to leave the club, even if they miss the qualification for the Champions League.
A series of three defeats in their last four league games has led to new concern about the future of Isak. But it is said that the tone is in a strong position with PSR that enters the summer and has no 'appetite or need' to have their top stars leave.
Instead, club bosses want to keep together the majority of their current team for next season. Securing Champions League football would go a way to discourage to continue Isak.
But Chiefs Chiefs hope that a summer of large investments in the team can convince their stars to stay. With various signs, Newcastle will 'resist' any attempt by rival clubs to buy their players.
Arsenal chose to park their pursuit to a striker until the summer, where Isak is generally expected to be their top objective. Speaking before the victory over Leicester, in which midfielder Mikel Merino was used as an emergency striker, Arteta regrets that he did not sign a new attacker in January.
“No, but we are always placed in that situation in which we were an injury or two away from a very risky that, and you don't achieve it, you can regret,” he said.
'But at least you know you did it. We have to [adapt]There are certain things that we have to adjust and again. It also offers other opportunities because we will have a different front line of players that are very unpredictable.
“So good in 1-V-1S, very creative, very sharp and it will give different headaches to the opposition. A certain power, a capacity that can play in our level. That is a body that we recognize as someone who can support It can support that can support and influence the team “
