Arsenal will reportedly not be able to sign Alexander Isak this summer because of Newcastle’s asking price which would set a British-record transfer fee.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gunners have been heavily linked with the signature of Alexander Isak<\/a> who is regarded as one of the best strikers in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Arsenal’s lack of fire-power has put them on the back foot<\/a> in the title race. They are six points off Liverpool<\/a> who have a game in hand.<\/p>\n

Recent draws with Fulham, Everton and Brighton showed why Arsenal might need to sign a striker if they are to end their two decade title-drought.<\/p>\n

Isak meanwhile has been in stunning form with 14 goals in his last 15 games. That includes in Newcastle’s 2-0 victory at the Emirates<\/a> in the Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg.<\/p>\n

\"Arsenal<\/p>\n

Arsenal Suffer Blow In Isak Race<\/h2>\n

The Daily Mail<\/a> have reported that Arsenal won’t be able to afford Alexander Isak during the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

It would almost certainly take a fee in excess of the British record \u00a3115m<\/a> Chelsea paid for Moises Caicedo, if Isak were to leave.<\/p>\n

Isak is Newcastle’s top earner and has a contract with the Magpies until the end of the 2027-28 season.<\/p>\n

The Mail claim that Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke is unlikely to sanction a move for the striker.<\/p>\n

It’s said the focus will be on outgoings, with Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko among those who could be sold.<\/p>\n

Thomas Partey is another player who could leave with his contract expiring this summer.<\/p>\n

But it would likely take a significant departure for the Gunners to consider selling Isak.<\/p>\n

Arsenal’s Lack Of Fire Power<\/h3>\n

Arsenal’s search for a striker like Alexander Isak is unsurprising given their lack of fire-power compared to title rivals Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Kai Havertz is Arsenal’s top scorer with 12 goals in all competitions. Liverpool meanwhile have three players who have scored just as many – Mohamed Salah (21), Cody Gakpo (12) and Luis Diaz (12).<\/p>\n

The Gunners have not been helped by injuries to Bukayo Saka<\/a> – their most creative player – and young striker Ethan Nwaneri.<\/p>\n

They have been linked to a host of other strikers including Dusan Vlahovic<\/a> and Viktor Gyokeres.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
