Arsenal host Newcastle in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday night and one of the Gunners’ 2025 summer transfer window targets showed why the north London club are keen to add him to their squad.
The competition gives both clubs the chance to add a trophy to their display cases as Mikel Arteta’s men have not won the title since 2020, while Newcastle as a whole have not won major silverware since winning the FA Cup in 1955.
Eddie Howe’s side came into the contest in fantastic form and despite the home side being the better of the two teams, the Magpies took the lead with 37 minutes on the clock thanks to Alexander Isak.
The Swedish forward has produced clinical scoring under the crossbar to score 14 goals in the 25-year-old’s last 15 matches, taking his tally to 15 goals and four assists in 22 games this season.
“He’s at it again,” declared the Sky Sports commentator Isak showed exactly why Arsenal are interested in the striker ahead of the 2025 summer transfer window, with Mikel Arteta looking to add some firepower to his attack.

Arsenal should go all out for Alexander Isak
Arsenal have been linked with several strikers ahead of the 2024/25 campaign. because it was clear that Arteta wanted to deal with that part of the field. After failing to land a striker last summer, it must happen during the next transfer window.
Isak would be a great option for the North London club as the Newcastle star showed he is one of the best strikers in the world during the first half of the season.
It was announced that it should 150 million pounds drag the 25-year-old from St. James’ Park and if the Swedish international can continue his current form, it could well be worth it for Arsenal to match that asking price.
