All the latest Arsenal transfer news in one place, including updates on Alexander Isak, Eberechi Eze and Hugo Ekitike.
Isak move possible?
Alexander Isak could be on the move this summer after all, should he reject Newcastle’s offer of a contract extension, with the Magpies keen to tie him to fresh terms.
It is claimed that a transfer could become ‘distinctly possible’ as both Arsenal and Liverpool remain huge admirers of the Sweden international. Liverpool, in particular, are said to be preparing a bid for him after Monday’s financial year deadline.
