Arsenal’s dream target this summer is Newcastle United star Alexander Isak.

Mikel Arteta barely has any options up top after Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz both suᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚffered season-ending injuries. The decision to not sign a new attacker in January has backfired.

Arsenal will have to deal w🔯ith what they’ve got for the remainder of the season, but things will be very different once the summer window opens.

Fabrizio Romano recently claimed that Arsenal will make a big ꦓstriker signing this summer. Isak is a serious target.

How much money Newcastle are demanding for Arsenal target Alexander Isak

Isak is arguably 🅰the best striker in the world right now.

The Swede has been incredible for Newcastle this season and played a massive part in helping thꦬem reach the final of the Carabao Cꦏup.

Arsenal have admired Isak since he was at Real Socied൲ad many years ago🐈, and their interest in him has not gone anywhere in recent seasons.

Several reports have claimed that Isak is the player Arteta wants to sign moreꦺ than anyone else.

However, the Gunners will have to smash their transf𒊎er record to have an🍸y chance of signing the Magpies star in the summer.

claim that Arsenal are fearful of missing out on Isak because Newcastle are being ‘stubborn’ and have indicated that they will only entertain a bid of £150ꦛ million.

That c𝄹ould price Arsenal out 🌞of a move this summer.

Five cheaper striker options for Arsenal this summer

£150 million is an outrageous amount of money,📖 but Newcastle are well within their rights to demand that figure.

As much as Arsenal would love to sign🎶 Isak, we just can’t see a world in which Stan Kroenke will sanction such a big deal in the summer.

So, h🌃ere💟 are five cheaper alternatives for the Gunners.

Sesko will be available for £59.2 million thanks to a gentleman’s agreement with Leipzig. Osimhen’s release clause will drop to £63 million once his loan spell in Turkey ends.

Thuram, who has been fantastic since his move to Italy, is valued at £66 million by Inter Milan (), while Cunha will be available for £62.5 million thanks to the release clause in his new contracಞt. Jonathan David will be a free agent t💙his summer.

All of the above names will b🍨e available for a lot less than what Newcastle are demanding for Isak.
