Arsenal FC’s pursuit of Alexander Isak in the 2025 transfer window has reportedly been paused due to Newcastle United’s steep valuation of the Swedish striker. While the Gunners are reportedly keen on securing Isak’s services, they are reluctant to pay the hefty fee being demanded, which has stalled any formal offer.
Mikel Arteta is eager to strengthen Arsenal’s attacking options, making Isak a priority following his impressive Premier League form, where he netted 15 goals this season. However, the potential cost of acquiring Isak, which could surpass the British record transfer fee of £115 million that Chelsea paid for Moises Caicedo in 2023, is beyond Arsenal’s current financial reach.
