Isak’s form has broughtꦚ him to the attention of 🌼a host of clubs around Europe and TBR sources confirm that Arsenal are confirmed admirers of the Swedish star and have been since his time at Borussia Dortmund.

A perfect way for Magpies to kick off their summer plans

It would be a real statement if Newcastle could convince Isak to sign a new contract in the near future. Eddie Ho♚we has suggested that Isak has the potential to become a footballing great.

His record from his time on Tynesid𓄧e is superb, particularly when you consider the struggles he had with Borussia Dortmund and his r﷽elatively quiet final season with Real Sociedad.

It would certainly be a fantastic start to their summer if🔯 they could kick it off by announcing that 🐎Isak has committed what could be the best years of his career to the Magpies.
