Arsenal Urged to Spend £100M, Beat PSG in Transfer Race for Newcastle Star | OneFootball

Viktor Gyökeres is drawing interest from several top European clubs as 2025 approaches, with reports suggesting that Sporting Lisbon might be open to selling their star striker. With multiple suitors for the Swedish forward, could Paris Saint-Germain turn their attention to other options for a new No. 9?

According to Foot Mercato, PSG’s sporting advisor, Luís Campos, has shown interest in Gyökeres and has already begun talks with the player’s representatives. However, discussions with coach Luis Enrique have raised concerns about how well Gyökeres would fit into the team.

This uncertainty could lead PSG to explore other striker options that align more closely with Enrique’s vision. Fichajes reported this past weekend that Enrique sees Newcastle’s Alexander Isak as an ideal fit for his project. His speed, technical ability, and finishing skills are qualities that would make him a strong fit in Enrique’s offensive system.

The Spanish outlet also mentions that Newcastle is unlikely to let him go easily, but PSG is reportedly willing to make an offer close to €100 million, which could tempt the English club to reconsider.

Amid the rumors linking Isak to a potential departure, former Aston Villa standout Dwight Yorke spoke about the gossip and urged one Premier League club to splash the cash to secure the player.

“If Arsenal want to win the Premier League title, they should go to Newcastle and bang £100m on the table for Isak as soon as the January transfer window opens,” Yorke said (h/t The Mirror).

“I think the kid looks really good whenever I see him play. He does all the right things properly. He’s a threat. He would score so many goals playing for Arsenal.”

In 18 appearances across all competitions, Isake has scored 11 goals while recording four assists for the Magpies this 2024-25 season.
