Fabrizio Romano makes fresh Alexander Isak claim days before Newcastle United Carabao Cup final v Liverpool
Arsenal and Liverpool are set to test Newcastle United’s resolve this summer when it comes to Alexander Isak.
Newcastle chief executive officer Darren Eales issued a firm hands-off warning on all of the club’s top players when speaking to the media last week. Eales also stressed that Isak was under contract at Newcastle until June 2028 and the club are under no pressure to sell, unlike last summer.
But Isak’s 57 goals in 99 appearances since joining The Magpies for a club record £63million from Real Sociedad in 2022 have made him one of the most sought-after strikers in world football.
While Newcastle are determined to keep hold of Isak, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has stressed Arsenal and Liverpool will look to make a move for the striker this summer.
Isak is set to make his 100th appearance for Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
And speaking just days before the final, Romano said on his YouTube channel: “About Arsenal, guys, I wanted to confirm once again what I’ve been telling you. Two names for the striker position.
“One for sure is Alexander Isak, the priority target for Arsenal, but also Liverpool are closely monitoring the situation of Alexander Isak. So for sure, Liverpool and Arsenal will be in the mix for the player.
