Breaking News: Newcastle Star Man Speaks out on £150m Transfer Price Tag Amid Arsenal Transfer Rumours
Alexander Isak has dismissed speculation surrounding his future, insisting that rumors linking him to top Premier League clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool do not faze him. The 25-year-old striker has been in outstanding form for Newcastle this season, scoring 12 goals and providing four assists in his first 17 appearances.
Isak’s latest goal came in Newcastle’s impressive 2-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday night. The Swedish forward headed home an early goal to give the Magpies the lead, and although he missed a chance to add to his tally soon after, his performance was instrumental in securing a rare win for Newcastle at the Theatre of Dreams.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Isak expressed his delight at the win, which capped off an impressive year for the Magpies. “It feels great,” he said. “We haven’t won here in a long time, and I think it was a great performance from us. It was the perfect way to end the year.”
Isak praised Newcastle’s intensity and pressing game, which he felt was key to their success against Manchester United. “Our intensity was really, really good,” he said. “We started off the game really well, pressed high, regained possession, and counter-attacked. I think that was the challenge, to have the same intensity here as we do when we play at home.”
When asked if Newcastle were confident heading into the game, Isak replied, “I think so, yeah. We’ve been much better lately, even playing away from home. The challenge the whole season has always been to play with the same intensity both home and away. I think we’ve done that in the last few weeks, and we’ve been consistent in our performance both home and away, which is great to see.”
Despite his impressive form, Isak has been the subject of intense speculation surrounding his future, with Arsenal and Liverpool among the clubs reportedly interested in signing him. However, when asked about the rumors, Isak brushed them off, insisting that they do not affect him.
The Swedish striker’s focus remains on helping Newcastle achieve success, and his commitment to the club is clear. With his impressive form and Newcastle’s resurgence under manager Eddie Howe, the Magpies are likely to face a challenge in keeping hold of their star striker. However, for now, Isak remains focused on the task at hand, and his performances on the pitch continue to impress.
As the transfer window approaches, speculation surrounding Isak’s future is likely to intensify. However, the Swedish striker’s comments suggest that he is not distracted by the rumors and remains committed to helping Newcastle achieve success. With his impressive form and the Magpies’ resurgence, Isak is likely to be a key player in the second half of the season.
