What Newcastle chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan has privately told the club’s hierarchy about selling Alexander Isak to Arsenal or Liverpool

Newcastle United star Alexander Isak has been linked with a move to both Arsenal and Liverpool this summer.

The Sweden international is having a fantastic season under Eddie Howe. Isak has been the best striker in the Premier League and his stock has been ri🍌sing over the last few months.

The 25-year-old recently starred for Newca🥀stle in the Carabao Cup final against Liverpoo🔯l. His goal in the second half proved to be the winner and ended the Magpies’ long wait for silverware.

Isak’s focus will be on the next few months at Newcastle, but ꦇhe will have a ton of interest from other clubs in the summer transfer window.

Yasir Al-Rumayyan sends clear message to Newcastle board about Alexander Isak’s future

Like every Newcastle fan on the planet, club chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan was over the moon following his 🌸side’s Carabao Cup triumph on Sunda🥃y.

The Magpies went into the game as the underdogs, but they completely ou🐓tplayed Liverpool and won the game at Wembley.

Isak stepped up ꦏfor the Magpies, and his performance gave every interested club more reason to make a move for him this summer.

However, Al-Rumayyan is not entertai𝕴ning any of꧒fer.

reveal that the Newcastle United cha💯irman has꧒ told the club’s hierarchy to resist all bids for Isak, who is his ‘favourite player’.

Al-Rumayyan is adamant that his star striker will not go anywhere this summer. That is a big blow for Arsenal and Liverpool, who both want to sign Isak.

The report adds that Newcastle 🍌are so keen to keep the ✱Swede that they have not even discussed an asking price for him.

What could Arsenal and Liverpool do if Isak is not available?

It was always going to be difficult for Arsenal and Liverpool to land Isak.

Newcastle have been adamant from the start that they do not want to let their number 14 go, and their recent cup win has made 💞their resolve stronger.

The top two Premier League sides will now have to look elsewhere, and Arsenal and Li🉐verpool ha♕ve both been linked with Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig.

The ﷺGunners have worked on Sesko more than any other player, while TBR Football exclusively revealed that Liverpool are interested in Sesko as well.

If Isak is no longer an option, we could see a battle between Arsen♛al and Liv🃏erpool for the Slovenia international striker this summer.
