TBR Football can exclusively confirm what Newcastle have now decided to do with Alexander Isak amid interest from the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea.

Isak has enjoyed a spectacular season for Newcastle, registering 17 goals in the Premier Le💝ague and 19 in all competition🍨s.

Newcastle planning new Alexander Isak contract talks

TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey understands that Newcastle are looking to open talks and agree a new contract with Alexander Isak before the end of the season.

Newcastle and Isak’s camp had held talks last year but they were she𒅌lved.

As TBR Football revealed at the time, Isak’s camp were shocked an🍒d taken abaꦿck by Newcastle’s decision, but 🅠the Swede has carried on with another top-class campaign.

Isak is one of th⭕e most talked about strikers in Europe, and he is one of Arsenal’s top targets heading into the summer and 🅘has been watched by Barcelona.

Newcastle, though, are insistent that they do not𒉰 want to lose Isak – recognising 🎃he is one of the top strikers in the world.

However, despite the fact Isak ඣis c♚ontracted to 2028 – he is not one of Newcastle’s highest paid players and they realise a new deal is required.

To do so Newcastle will have to smash their wage structure as Isak will warrant a deal in exce🐼🍸ss of £200,000.

TBR Football understands that Isak himself is open to a new deal but would ideally like Newcastle to be playing Ch♊ampions League football.

That said Newcastl🐻e want to cut out any risk of losing Isak and ready to open talks before the summer with the hope of convincing him thaꦅt his long-term future is on Tyneside.

It remains to be seen if Isak will be persuaded 💟to sign before the summe♕r or not.

What Arsenal or Chelsea would be getting from Isak

When it comes to any kind of transfer speculation regarding any player, one of the most important things to try and determ𝄹ine is whether said player can deliver in the Premier League.

With Isak, it’s clear to seꦫe what ♐he can do in the Premier League. He’s made a name for himself as one of the best strikers in the country, if not the whole world.

Paul Merson recently said Isak would take Arsenal or Chels🗹ea to the next level if either club was to sign him.

“There is no doubt that all✨ the top ▨clubs will want to sign him,” said Merson.

“With Financial Fair Play (FFP) also coming into the picture, it will be interest💃❀ing to see if Newcastle can hold on to him.

“If Arsenal signed Isak😼, I would be ༒shocked if they don’t end up winning the Premier League.

“The same goes for Chelsea, it will seal that top four place a🦹nd take them to the next level!”
