Arsenal plot damaging Newcastle raid as move for electric star assessed – it’s NOT Isak

Newcastle United are at serious risk of losing Alexander Isak, with the striker keen on a move to Liverpool, and another vital Magpies star could reportedly head out the exit door, this time to Arsenal.

The Gunners have tied up a deal for their top striker target, Viktor Gyokeres, after bringing in senior players Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, Cristhian Mosquera, Noni Madueke, and Martin Zubimendi.

Arsenal’s spending has now hit around £200million if you include the £64million fee they have agreed with Sporting CP to sign Gyokeres, whose arrival will be announced imminently.

However, Mikel Arteta still wants more reinforcements and wants to bring in a new left-winger, who can replace Leandro Trossard in the long term and compete with Gabriel Martinelli and youngster Ethan Nwaneri for a starting spot.

According to reports, Newcastle star Anthony Gordon is on a three-man shortlist of exciting winger targets for the Gunners.

“I do still feel like there is scope to bring in one more new addition before the window closes, however. There is still a long time left in the market and it wouldn’t shock me if Arsenal still look to do something,” journalist Charles Watts told Caught Offside.

“We know they are looking at options for that left-sided attacking role, with Eberechi Eze, Rodrygo and Anthony Gordon believed to be of interest. Whether Nwaneri’s new deal puts a stop to that I’m not sure, but I really don’t believe it should.”
