Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has broken his silence regarding growing transfer speculation linking him with top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea.
Isak has been one of the standout performers in the Premier League this season, scoring 19 goals to help Newcastle compete for a Champions League spot and reach the Carabao Cup final. His impressive form has caught the attention of several big clubs, with Arsenal leading the race but hesitant due to Newcastle’s £120 million valuation.
Liverpool and Chelsea are also reportedly interested in securing the Swedish international’s signature. Liverpool are seeking a natural striker after relying on a false nine for most of the season, while Chelsea are eager to strengthen their attack following a disappointing second half of the campaign.
Despite the speculation, Isak remains focused on Newcastle’s success. When asked about his future ahead of the Carabao Cup final, the 24-year-old insisted that he is fully committed to helping his team win silverware this season.
“I am not really thinking about the summer yet. That will be a talking point when the season is finished. No talks have been held yet. I’ve said many times that I’m happy here, and we are competing for titles, which is what every player wants,” Isak stated.
The former Real Sociedad forward also addressed concerns about his fitness after being substituted in recent matches. He clarified that he has not been injured but has been experiencing some fatigue. However, he assured fans that he is feeling good and ready for the final.
“I have not been injured, just a bit of tiredness. I feel good and excited for the game. The best way to prepare is to train as normal. It will come down to what we do as a team,” Isak added.
Reflecting on his successful spell at St James’ Park, Isak expressed pride in his achievements but emphasized his ambition to keep improving. “I want to be the best version of myself. I have high ambitions and want to create my own history at Newcastle. It’s hard work, training, and the mentality to get better.”
