Arsenal are ready to break the bank with a £127 million offer for “unreal” goal scorer | OneFootball

Arsenal are reportedly prepared to make a massive splash in the upcoming transfer window.

There are strong indications that the North London club are planning an audacious bid to secure the services of Newcastle United’s star forward Alexander Isak.

According to reports from Fichajes, the Gunners are ready to shell out a staggering €150 million (£127 million) to bring the Swedish international to the Emirates Stadium.

The move comes in the wake of a disappointing season for Arsenal, where hopes of major silverware were dashed by their exit from the Champions League semi-finals at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain, coupled with Liverpool clinching the Premier League title.

Arsenal are working on a new striker signing

With the 2024/25 campaign ending in frustration, Mikel Arteta and his management team are determined to address the club’s attacking woes.

Sources indicate that Arsenal’s board is prepared to back Arteta’s ambitions with significant financial muscle this summer, with Isak emerging as the primary target.

Should the deal go through, it would shatter the club’s existing transfer record of £105 million paid for Declan Rice back in 2023, demonstrating a clear statement of intent from the North London club.

Whether it is the Premier League or the Champions League, this season showed that a lack of a real goal scorer in the team has caused the Gunners a lot this season.

Their trophy drought is failing to end and during that time, they have lacked a goal scorer like Isak or Erling Haaland in their team.

Injuries to key forwards like Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus forced Arteta to shuffle his attacking options, exposing a lack of depth and consistency in scoring.

Beyond his immediate impact, the signing of Isak would signal Arsenal’s renewed commitment to challenging for major trophies.

The attacker has been the star performer for Newcastle, demonstrating not only goal-scoring quality but also the ability to link play effectively and create opportunities for teammates.

With Arteta at the helm and the backing of a supportive board, the Gunners look set to make a statement in the summer transfer window.

Troy Deeney, BBC pundit, has praised Isak by calling him “unreal” due to his goal scoring quality.
