It is not a great time to be a Newcastle fan. A few days earlier, the magpies went out of the FA Cup. And, now, the recent reports suggest that the Magpies could face another setback in the summer transfer window.
Without any doubt, the shining light for the Magpies this season has been Alexander Isak. The Sweden International is by far the best striker in the Premier League this season. As per the recent form, he is better than Haaland or any other striker in the league.
So, it was quite evident that top Premier League clubs would come for him. Arsenal are desperate to sign a proper striker. Kai Havertz has struggled a lot as the number 9 for the Gunners. The same problem is for Liverpool.
Now, you could think how Liverpool can have a problem this season when they are the best team in Europe let alone England. The only concern for the Reds is the lack of proper number 9 and the failure of Darwin Nunez to deliver in crunch games.
That is why Liverpool are also looking to bring in a new number 9. The Newcastle star has been on the radar of many Premier League clubs along with top clubs in Europe. There was a time when it seemed that the Swedish striker might leave St. James’ Park in January.
Fortunately, Isak decided to stay after rejecting both Arsenal and Liverpool. But, he might be willing to leave Tyneside unless Newcastle achieves Champions League football next season. And, he has already set his heart on joining his dream club who are desperate to sign him.
