Following rumors that Gabriel Jesus might depart the Emirates Stadium this summer, the report was released. Since the summer of last year, Arsenal has been strongly linked to the prospect of acquiring a new striker. The rumors gained momentum throughout the January transfer window, even though the club did not make any new additions to their roster.

Isak sent a message for Newcastle a few days after there were rumors that he was going to Arsenal. In the Premier League on Saturday, the Magpies played Burnley, and Newcastle won 4-1 at Turf Moor.

In the triumph in Lancashire, Callum Wilson, Sean Longstaff, and Bruno Guimaraes all found the back of the goal in addition to Isak. After Sander Berge misdirected the ball, Newcastle surged ahead. Jacob Murphy’s low cross came in just behind Isak, but the forward made an adjustment to score.

With his 20th Premier League goal of the year, the Swede became the first Newcastle player to do it since Alan Shearer in the 2003–04 season. Isak is currently ranked second among Premier League scorers this season after his goal against Burnley.

Erling Haaland of Manchester City is the only player ahead of him with 21, while Isak has the same as Chelsea’s Cole Palmer (20) and one more than Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins (19). During the January transfer window, Arsenal was connected to multiple prospective strikers.

In recent months, Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee, RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, Al-Ittihad’s Karim Benzema, Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic, and RB Leipzig forward Karim Benzema have all been linked to a move to the Emirates Stadium. However, if reports of Arsenal’s interest are accurate, Isak’s goalscoring exploits in the Premier League have undoubtedly attracted their attention even more.
