As Arsenal faces pressure to outbid Newcastle for the €100 million striker, the Sporting Lisbon star could spark PSG’s rejection.
Top European clubs are circling as 2025 nears, with Sporting Lisbon reportedly open to selling their Swedish sensation, Viktor Gyökeres. While PSG’s Luís Campos has initiated talks with Gyökeres’ camp, internal doubts from coach Luis Enrique about the striker’s compatibility with his tactical vision could force the French giants to pivot.
Reports from Fichajes suggest Enrique has his eyes set on Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, whom he sees as the perfect No. 9 for his system, thanks to his speed, technical finesse, and finishing prowess. PSG is rumored to be preparing a €100 million bid to lure the Swedish forward away from St. James’ Park. However, Newcastle is reportedly reluctant to part ways with their prolific striker, who has tallied 11 goals and four assists in 18 appearances this season.
Adding a twist, former Aston Villa icon Dwight Yorke has urged Arsenal to hijack the potential deal. “If Arsenal are serious about winning the Premier League, they should march to Newcastle with £100M in January and sign Isak. He’s a natural goal machine,” Yorke told The Mirror.
With Arsenal, PSG, and Newcastle all tangled in the transfer web, fans are left wondering: who will land the Swedish sharpshooter?
