Sami Mokbel - 25y/o with 23 PL goals this term open to Arsenal move, could cost vast majority of summer budget

0 3

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak would be open to a move to London amid interest from Arsenal ahead of the summer transfer window, according to BBC Sport journalist Sami Mokbel.

The 25-year-old Sweden international is at the top of the wishlist of Gunners manager Mikel Arteta having notched 23 goals and six assists in 32 Premier League games in 2024-25 after ending last season with 21 goals in 30 league appearances.

However, Arsenal are aware that signing Isak would wipe out the vast majority of their summer transfer budget, and while they have not closed the door on a move for the Newcastle star just yet, a deal for him may be unlikely as the North London club have other positions to strengthen.

The Gunners are also looking to sign a winger and midfielder, with Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams a genuine target while Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi is expected to join them.

They could also look to strengthen at the back with Brazilian goalkeeper Neto returning to Bournemouth at the end of his loan while full-backs Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney could both depart.

Arsenal could look to sign around four more players besides a striker, and they are likely to opt for an affordable option given how much Isak will cost suitors.

RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko and Sporting CP hitman Viktor Gyokeres remain on their radar as plan Bs after weighing in with 26 goals and 52 goals, respectively.

Other options could also emerge when the transfer window opens if a deal for either of the aforementioned duo proves tricky to strike, and Arsenal are in dire need of a new number 9 as their Champions League campaign underlined.

They lost to Paris Saint-Germain home and away in the semi-finals of the elite European competition after missing out on the Premier League title for the third consecutive campaign, and bolstering their attacking ranks with a prolific striker and a reliable proven winger could be all they need to start winning major silverware again having gone five campaigns without one.
