Newcastle United should seriously consider selling Alexander Isak – a transfer target for Arsenal and Tottenham – should a big money offer be made.

That is the opinion of former Newcastle defender Jose Enrique amid reports that the two North London giants will bid £100million for the striker in the summer.

Isak has been one of the best No.9s in the Premier League since moving to St. James’ Park in a deal worth ?70m (£59.8m) in 2022.

He scored 10 goals in 27 games last season, firing his club to Champions League qualification and the Carabao Cup final, and has followed that up with 19 in 32 appearances so far his campaign.

Naturally, Newcastle have no plans to sell their talisman, while the 24-year-old himself is keen to stay.
However, he may not have a choice, as the the club are in danger of falling foul of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules having spent just under £400m on transfers since their Saudi Arabia-led takeover in 2021.

As a result, they may be forced to sell players on in order to comply with PSR, but while losing a player of Isak’s quality would sting, Enrique believes it would be the right call for Newcastle due to the Sweden star’s poor injury record.
