Arsenal Shift Focus to Cheaper Striker After Isak Talks Stall
Arsenal’s pursuit of Alexander Isak has hit a roadblock, prompting the club to explore alternative striker options. The Gunners had been keen on signing the Newcastle United forward, but negotiations have reportedly stalled due to financial constraints and Newcastle’s reluctance to sell.
With Mikel Arteta eager to bolster his attacking options for the Premier League title race, Arsenal are now turning their attention to a more affordable striker. While the identity of their new target remains undisclosed, initial discussions are said to be underway. The club’s recruitment team is working swiftly to secure a deal before the transfer window closes.
Despite this shift in focus, Arsenal have not completely ruled out revisiting talks for Isak if circumstances change. However, time is running out, and Arteta needs reinforcements to maintain their title challenge against Manchester City and Liverpool.
The North London club has been searching for a clinical forward to support Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, with recent goal-scoring struggles highlighting the need for a reliable finisher. Whether Arsenal will land a surprise signing or reignite their Isak pursuit remains to be seen, but fans are eager to see how this transfer saga unfolds.
