Liverpool’s Striker Hunt Heats Up as Isak Links Grow Stronger — Arsenal Left Anxious
Liverpool’s pursuit of a new striker for the summer is intensifying, with Alexander Isak emerging as a top target for the Reds, according to Fabrizio Romano’s latest update on his YouTube channel.
Romano reports that Isak is now a priority for Liverpool, putting pressure on Arsenal, who have been long-term admirers of the Newcastle star. Mikel Arteta is said to view Isak as a dream signing, but Newcastle United have so far maintained a firm stance that the Swedish striker is “untouchable” and not for sale.
Still, Romano suggests that if an offer upwards of €70-90 million is made, Newcastle might be forced to consider. Both Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly ready to enter a bidding war, with Liverpool especially motivated as Darwin Nunez is expected to leave Anfield this summer, opening up space for a new leading forward.
Romano emphasized:
> “I wanted to confirm once again the striker targets I’ve mentioned. For sure, Alexander Isak is the priority for Arsenal, but Liverpool is also closely monitoring his situation. Both clubs are in the race, and it will depend on Newcastle’s stance. Right now, Newcastle say he’s untouchable, but if huge bids come in, things could change. It would take more than €70-90 million to even tempt them.”
He added that for Arsenal, Isak is more than a target — he’s an “obsession.” Arteta sees him as a perfect fit, and Arsenal have tracked him for some time.
Romano concluded:
> “Liverpool will be active this summer — we’ll cover that more soon. But remember, with Nunez likely to be sold, Isak is high on their list. For Arsenal, this is a long-term pursuit. Expect this saga to be one of the biggest stories of the summer transfer window.”
