Alexander Isak has distanced himself from rumours of a potential move to Arsenal or Tottenham in the summer, insisting he ‘feels at home’ at Newcastle and wishes to see out Eddie Howe’s ‘project’.
Reports this week suggested both Arsenal and Spurs would attempt to lure Isak to north London with eye-watering £100million bids to sign the 24-year-old forward at the end of the season.
Isak has scored 29 goals in 59 games since joining Newcastle from Real Sociedad in a club-record £63million deal in 2022 and is regarded as one of the finest young strikers in Premier League football, despite struggling with injury problems this term.
However, Newcastle manager Howe has stressed that Isak is not for sale and it’s understood the Magpies have the Sweden international at the forefront of their plans as they look ahead to the future.
‘He?s an outstanding talent and no-one connected with Newcastle would want to lose him,? Howe told reporters when quizzed on the incessant speculation surrounding Isak’s future ahead of Newcastle’s 1-1 draw with Everton.
?I thought he was excellent against West Ham. He didn?t score in open play but his two penalties were outstanding and his general play was very good.
‘His link play, his athleticism, he looked in a really good place.?
