Alexander Isak is facing a crucial few days as Liverpool prepare to approach Newcastle over a transfer, while Arsenal turn their attention to Eberechi Eze and Manchester United chase a striker

Arsenal hold an interest in Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze, who would help solve that issue of having more creativity from the left. The 27-year-old is also capable of producing the “magic moments” that Arteta has claimed his team lacks. For several reasons, Isak joining Liverpool would ramp up the pressure on Arsenal to sign Eze.

The summer transfer window is about to enter its final month with hundreds of millions already splashed on some major signings.Arsenal have completed the signing of Viktor Gyokeres, closing out a deal worth £63m for the forward who was unveiled as a new Gunner during their pre-season match against Newcastle on Sunday.

However, the 27-year-old has dealt a blow to Isak if a move to the Emirates was to materialise, although it would now take a raft of sales to make a bid possible. With the No.9 shirt already taken by Gabriel Jesus, Gyokeres has opted to inherit the fabled No.14 in North London.

Isak has scored 62 goals in 109 league appearances for the Magpies and remains a fan favourite target among many Arsenal supporters. For most, the belief persists that if an opportunity ever arose, the Gunners would make a serious move.

Newcastle United lost out on Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool, and to add insult to that transfer injury, Liverpool might also end up with Alexander Isak, too! Newcastle’s leading goalscorer sure seems to be trying to force a move to the Premier League champions, leaving the Magpies in desperate need of a striker ... or two.
