Alexander Isak out of reach for Arsenal
Alexander Isak has been linked with Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta’s hopes of signing the Newcastle striker in January appear slim. Arsenal fans are eager for reinforcements during the transfer window as the team’s season risks unraveling.
Despite their ambition to secure a major trophy, Arsenal faces challenges, including an FA Cup clash with Manchester United on Sunday. They also trail Liverpool by six points in the Premier League title race, having played an extra match. Their attack has struggled in recent weeks, intensifying calls for new signings before the transfer deadline.
Isak, 25, has been deemed too expensive for Arsenal, forcing the club to explore other options. The Swedish forward, who scored in Newcastle’s recent win at the Emirates, has been in superb form with 10 goals in his last nine games. According to the Mail, Newcastle would demand a British-record transfer fee exceeding the £115 million Chelsea paid for Moises Caicedo in 2023—an amount Arsenal cannot afford.
Jorginho eyes potential return to Brazil
Arsenal midfielder Jorginho is considering a move back to Brazil this month as his contract approaches its summer expiration. According to ESPN, his agent has offered him to Brazilian club Palmeiras.
Jorginho, 33, would reportedly only consider Palmeiras or their rivals Flamengo as options for a return to his home country. Although born in Brazil, the former Chelsea star represents Italy internationally after relocating there at age 15.
