Alexander Isak has become the focal point of a high-profile transfer battle between Liverpool and Arsenal, a development that no longer surprises given his exceptional form.

Since arriving at Newcastle United from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022, Isak has solidified his position as one of the Premier League’s top forwards.

The 25-year-old Swedish international has been instrumental in 66 goals across just 99 appearances for Newcastle, showcasing remarkable consistency and clinical finishing skills.

This season, he has further enhanced his reputation by scoring 22 goals and providing five assists in 32 appearances across all competitions, establishing himself as a world-class striker.

Now speaking in his pre-Liverpool press conference ahead of the Carabao Cup final, the Swede was remarkably open about all the reports and admitted that his situation will pick up pace in the summer amid talks of a contract extension at St James’ Park.

“Yeah, as I have said.

I am not really thinking about the summer yet,”  he began as quoted by the Chronicle Live.

“That will be a talking point when the season is finished.

No talks have been held yet,” he confirmed on possible Newcastle contract talks.

I have said many times I am happy here and we are competing for titles which is what you want as a football player.

We should look at it one season at a time, and this season we can win a trophy.

I have said many times I am focused on doing a job?

All of our focus is on Sunday and bringing a trophy back.”
