The Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is looking for a striker like Isak. That is why the Gunners have made the Newcastle player their primary target.

Newcastle transfer news - Alexander Isak to Arsenal

The latest Newcastle transfer news from Fichajes is that the Gunners are ready to pay a record fee for Isak. The Magpies are reluctant to let Isak go. He is a part of a bigger plan for Eddie Howe. The English manager wants to take Newcastle United to greater heights. 

Howe has already taken Newcastle in the Champions League. The Magpies want to win a trophy and also play in Europe's elite trophy. And, Alexander Isak is an integral part of that plan. That is why they have set a price of over £100m for the striker. Now, Arsenal is ready to match that fee. 

According to reports, they are ready to pay a club-record fee of around £111m for the striker. If such an offer arrives for the Magpies, it will be hard to ignore. The Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) will compel Newcastle to let the striker go. 

If that happens, Eddie Howe will need a back striker as Callum Wilson might leave. That is why the Magpies are already targeting Evan Ferguson from Brighton.

So, do you think Newcastle should accept this £111m fee for Alexander Isak to Arsenal deal?
