Arsenal target Alexander Isak and one Newcastle teammate after Carabao Cup triumph
Arsenal have adde Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes to their transfer wishlist as they also plot a move for his teammate Alexander Isak.
Both Guimaraes and Isak playe starring roles for สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน Eddie Howe’s side at Wembley on Sunday to help the Magpies end a domestic trophy drought that date back to 1955 with a 2-1 win over Liverpool.
Isak enhance his burgeoning reputation with the goal that eventually won the game, displaying all his predatory instincts and finishing ability with a ruthless first-time finish.
The Sweden international has enjoye another stellar campaign with the club he joine nearly three years ago from Real Sociedad for a fee in the region of £63 million.
Isak’s value has at least double in the intervening period but Newcastle are brace for several bids for the 25-year-old this summer despite his current contract not expiring until 2028.
Arsenal, who have held interest in Isak since his time at Sociedad, are understood to have made the 25-year-old their absolute transfer priority while Barcelona are also carefully monitoring his situation.
And, the Gunners are also considering lodging a bid for Isak’s teammate, Guimaraes, who has previously attracte interest from Manchester City.
Like Isak, Guimaraes is under contract with Newcastle until 2028 but that may not prevent Arsenal from testing the waters as they look to rebuild their midfield.
Arsenal have already reportedly agree a deal to sign Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, but could need another marquee signing with both Jorginho and Thomas Partey looking likely to leave the Emirates at the end of the season.
Arsenal’s quest to sign either player will prove difficult, with Isak, in particular, considere unsellable by Newcastle chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan.
The governor of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment fund was in attendance on Sunday and, has made clear to Newcastle’s hierarchy that Isak will not be going anywhere and has refuse to even set a ball park asking price.
Newcastle would like to enter into discussions over a new deal and a significant pay rise for Isak, but the player appears to be in no rush, particularly with qualification for next season’s Champions League hanging in the balance.
