Arsenal is reportedly ready to make a massive splash in the upcoming transfer window.
There are strong indications that the North London Club is planning a bold bid to secure the service of Newcastle United star forward Alexander Isaac.
Fichajes reports that gunners are ready to fire 150 million euros (£127 million) to bring Swedish international to Emirates Stadium.
The move comes as a result of Arsenal’s disappointing season. There, coupled with Liverpool winning the Premier League title, large silverware hopes were shattered by the expulsion from the Champions League semi-finals at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
Arsenal is working on signing a new striker
With the 2024/25 campaign ending in frustration, Mikel Arteta and his management team are determined to deal with the club’s offensive struggles.
Sources say the Arsenal board of directors is ready to significantly support Arteta’s ambitions, which have emerged as a major target this summer.
If the transaction is made, the club’s existing transfer records paid to Declan Rice in 2023 crushed £105 million, giving a clear statement of intent from the North London Club.
Whether in the Premier League or the Champions League, the team’s lack of real goal scorers this season has shown that it has greatly sparked gunners this season.
Their trophy drought was failing to the end, and during that time they lacked goal-scorers like Isaac and Erling Haaland.
The injuries of key forwards like Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus forced Arteta to shuffle offensive options, revealing depth and inconsistency in scoring.
Isaac is the ideal signature for gunners
Beyond his immediate impact, Isaac’s signature would indicate a new commitment for Arsenal to challenge the major trophies.
The attacker is a star performer in Newcastle, demonstrating not only the quality of scoring goals, but also his ability to effectively link plays and create opportunities for teammates.
With Arteta at the helm and support from the Assistance Committee, Gunners appears to be set to issue a statement during the summer transfer period.
BBC Pundit’s Troy Deeney praised Isak for calling him “unrealistic” for his goalscoring.
The North London Club is also approaching the signing of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi this summer.
